Takeoff!

Today’s sunshine found Hana and me on the Downs for a picnic. As usual I brought the camera and managed to snap this photo of a bird taking off.

Unfortunately it’s not in perfect focus because the autofocus on this Tamron 70-300mm lens can only be considered fast by glacial standards.

Fortunately, this cyclist passed around where we were sitting on a perimeter road and I had plenty of time to focus and track him.
