Earlier this month, I spent a week hanging out in various hides with the intent of photographing some of the big boys (birds) that Europe has to offer. The days were lenghty, dull moments plenty; but the payoff was more than worth it.

A few portraits (they came that close at times) to give you an idea. I still have to go through most of the action/environmental shots. Might post those at a later date.

Thank you. These were taken in the wild indeed (from a hide/blind).
