The female took off from under my feet, so l froze figuring l was about to step on a nest. I looked under ferns for about a minute and all of a sudden, 5 almost fully developed young took off from all around me. I wanted a closer look so caught this guy/gal for a …
Oak Leaves
Whilst on the theme of 28 bores. Here is a 28 bore Pigeon gun ready for finishing. Watson Bros It may not appeal to some but since I am into oaks the Oak Leaves caught my eye.
Peregrine strike
Peregrine strike, a mature peregrine of experience waiting at 2000 ft slices through a flock of wigeon, oblivious to her presence she is the ultimate unseen assassin over the estuary and tidal rivers of the world. A dramatic moment captured in paint and reproduced in this stunning canvas print framed and ready to go. Contact …
