Only 210mm taken with the DA 55-300 PLM on the K-1, so I could have gone to 300mm if needed.
My favourite of the set, but only 1 fave on flickr

Not my favourite at all ( well down the list) but 2 flickr favs.... flickr and I are not always in agreement.

You could almost say... the eagle has landed.

Nice shots!

As all facilities are closed due to Covid-19, I can only catch what is flying around.
