The Bonny Moor Hen

I know it's a grouse, but they're locally known as the Moor Hen.
Not as clear as I would have liked, but it was hand held at 300mm.
No new pics today because I said goodbye to an old friend, my 7 1/2 year old Impreza with only 147,988 miles. Traded for a slightly newer, lower mileage Legacy.

A sad day indeed, was it still in one piece or had it been repaired a few times, I know how narrow those roads can be.

Nice shot

Well the only birds I've photographed so far this year are pidgeons and seagulls - so you are doing better than me! Anyway, I mustn't grouse...

All in all, this turned out well considering it was handheld. I tried to hand hold my 300mm with a 1.7 TC the other day. Need I tell you how it turned out?

Very nice handheld. Have never seen a Grouse.

Spring must be on the way with everyone cleaning out their cars for newer models. This is excellent for handheld, John. I like the not-too-sharp image a lot. ( maybe because I can do that...a lot ;>)

Moor hen-tastic!
I'm hoping to get an Impreza as my next car!! :D

Mystified by the presentation. Very interesting!

Famous...??? Pretty good for handheld at 300mm...
I got my new wheels today as well... :-)

He/she is great - handheld: impressive and this Legacy, why give up on an Impreza? Did the 'bad-boy' image have to go? :( It broke my heart giving up my Rav4 - Chris

It's off to audition for a whisky ad!!! (And that's pretty steady at full stretch....)
Have fun with the new car... -- they are just about the most reliable brand ever...
