It's funny how sometimes you can go a really long time without a good photo encounter on a specific species then all of a sudden you get a few lucky days in a row. Started off with watching a Harrier sitting for an extended period of time, when it finally took of it ended up within my min focus distance and hovered about 10' away. Amazing experience when something like that happens.

This shot was from the series right before it came within the min focus distance

Different Harrier on a different day/location. Not as close but got a bit more environment in the photos

Beautiful Set! I’m still waiting for an opportunity like that. I’ve had several encounters over the last couple of weeks but too far away to get a thing like that. Patience and persistence usually pay off. Well done Palmor👍👍👍
