'Wild Osprey' STANTA range 27th November 2017

[mikee115]

Evening all,

Finally managed to catch a 7th SOS CV-22 Osprey on the STANTA range after only ever seeing them skimming the tops of the trees whilst at work. Thanks to the crew for buzzing me when they departed each time. A great experience being this close in their natural environment.

Lovely set Mike!! Love the head on ones.

That 150-600mm looks cracking on the 80D

Thanks everyone. It was a great to be up close and personal with it.
The 150-600mm is going well and this was the first use in anger.

Great set of photos, must have been so good to see them up close and also to have them give you such a fab variety of angles, of which the last one is probably my fav!
Cheers, Chris
