Today Jax took me on the famous Raptor Run…..

Well I must say I had enough valuable exercise its aim and click click click ….. Got some awesome shots just wish I had my 500mm but all good things come to those who wait….

We saw Jackal Buzzard, Black shouldered Kite, Rock Kestrel and Steppe Buzzard all on one road.  We had lovely photo opportunity with the Black shouldered Kite it sat and posed and did not even care about all the fuss over him…. At long last it took off and I got a great shot… The Rock Kestrel also gave us ample opportunity to take some nice photos. Flew from one pole to the other…. Good exercise for me haha.   But I think the highlight of the whole trip was the two Jackal Buzzard doing a war dance….. It was stunning…. Again I have to invest in that 500mm…..

Well I can’t wait for my next birding/photography experience with Jackie…. It is always so much fun I could highly recommend her for a fun filled trip….

Till next time…

Exceptionally well done on the photos, Coreen! It's even more impressive when you consider the size of your lens, bravo!
