Minsmere (Part 2)

Before moving on to other things, I just wanted to post a few more shots from Minsmere. Although I spent a lot of time in the hides there, I found that the car park (no, really) was one of the best places to see wildlife. I don't know why, but it's not uncommon for me to end up taking some of my favorite pictures of the day within minutes of arriving or within minutes of leaving. Normally in the car park. Here are two early morning examples from Minsmere:

Nikon D700 + 500mm f/4 @ f/4, 1/1600th sec, ISO 200

Nikon D700 + 500mm f4 + 1.4x TC @ f/8, 1/400th sec, ISO 320
