| Northern Goshawk Adult Hyoko, Niigata, Japan February 21, 2016 Sony RX100iii held up to a Nikon ED50 field scope I didn't bring an adaptor! |
I want a big new spotting scope. Either Zeiss, Swarovski, or Leica will do. The above goshawk looked fantastic through my little scope but I imagined a nice, intimate portrait with snow and dead reeds would have been nice. Looking through my scope the breeze was blowing the reeds in and out of the way and the soft feathers on the hawk's chest were fluffed up. The goshawk was interested in the ducks on the water and its yellow eyes peered through the reeds, sometimes almost directly at us.

I got ready with my D7100 and 300 f4 when it looked like flying anf it came right at me. I messed up though, the camera just got stuck on the background.
I lost focus after this shot and didn't regain it until it had almost passed me.

Anyway. It was a fruitful outing.
