My first post in over 4 years on this forum.

But birds were also very special - here's a few species I photographed. This lot all raptors. 

 

Gear used a Canon R7 with either my 100-400 mark 2 lens or mainly with a Canon RF 800 F/11

Dark Chanting Goshawk

Hey, fine photos!

Good to see the name @theplainswanderer again. If my memory is correct, our first contact was before Safaritalk started.
