The Fisher King

Patience is eventually starting to pay off! After many hours of waiting and staring at a stick and sitting still and quiet (except for the odd fart) this female is now becoming a little used to my presence and smell!


Better to come hopefully!

Steve great shots but I don't care for the angle of the perch crossing the subject - small point I know but this is near perfection having her so confiding - beats the xxxx out of forest farm!

Thanks Rich, I`ve another perch next to, which she has now come to! The one in this shot will be out and a better one to be replaced! It`s not a case of pushing one in the mud, it has to be set in a concrete weight!

Well done Steve! Fab. Worthy of the header shot i think!

Richard G. Smith said...

Is that the perch Slap is using - it seems to do the trick!

Yes Rich, She was on it waiting for her breakfaast as we arrived this morning!
She was on the other stick minutes after I placed it, Never even had my camera out!!
