They make their nest in a hole in the ground I think...

Beautiful. What focal length lens were you using and how close were you?

[zardos123]

Thanks for all the great comments guys. To answer your question Morton i was using a pentax 6x7 large format 300mm with an adapter on to a pentax k1, manual focus at about 12-15 meters on a tripod and remotely triggered from maybe 25 meters, they tend to come back to the same branch if not disturbed
