On the way back from north Hokkaido we stopped off near Tomakomai..............
At Mukawa there were a few birds around: Eastern Marsh Harrier and Middendorffs Warbler being the most interesting. We'd heard of some Brown Hawk Owls in a park on the edge of town and as it would have been a lifer for me and it was more or less on the way home we decided to look for them.............
Luckily we saw a small group of photographers pointing big lenses at something so we could easily find them and I could quickly take a few shots.
High ISO, handheld in a shady forest...........I wasn't really prepared.
Prepared or not, you did well, and certainly a great bird to add to your life list.
ReplyDeleteThanks David. I'd heard it several times before but this was the first time to actually see it............
