I had only just got a shot of a couple of pheasants and had left the camera easily at hand, on the step of the tractor.
Tractors ect are a brilliant platform as wildlife has no fear of them.
How nice ! A farmer who shoots animals with his camera, not a gun !! Whereas I come from a hunting, fishing, shooting family background and lifestyle, I will never understand how people can get pleasure out of blasting hand-reared pheasants out of the skies. To me, much more skilful and far, far more fun is to try and take amazing photographs of our diverse wildlife ... like your beautiful piccies! I hadn't thought of a tractor being a brilliant platform for taking photographs because wildlife have no fear of them. I'll have to hitch a ride when our local farmer is next harvesting and the buzzards come down to pick up any fatalities!
Excellent photos of a beautiful animal, well done you!
