[Vintage Racer]

Could not find a 'Wildlife' thread anywhere, so decided to start one here.

A couple from me, to get things going:

Nice work Ben, I particularly like the Hare in the river.

Here's a deer that I spotted in the woods, Sadly where I live in France, wildlife is very 'skittish' and will not tolerate any human interaction!

Have been photographing this 'Little Owl' for 5 years now and his beauty still takes my breath away!

This image was taken last night.

Have just built my first DSLR Camera Trap for remote nocturnal shooting and had to test it somehow.......the local cat was not on my target list, but have to say, that i'm impressed with the image quality. - Hoping for a Fox, or Pine Marten soon!

Nice shots. Which forest is it?

I live in the centre of the 'Perigord Limousin National Park'. North Dordogne, France.

Incredible!
What kit was used, if you don't mind me asking?

They were taken with my Nikon D500, with 70-200 f4 lens. - In addition, I attached a 'Raynox DCR-150' Macro lens with a Ringflash.
