Sneaky shots

I tend not to take many photographs while guiding (for obvious reasons), but here are a few shots from this weekend. It's no coincidence that these are all big, slow-flying birds, I usually manage to sneak the camera out for a few photos while my guests are watching through their binoculars!

 One of the highlights recently for me was tracking down a few of the reintroduced Cranes. They are often very distant out on the moors, but while watching them this time they were spooked by a tractor and actually flew in towards us and started feeding in a much closer field, a real spectacle!
