I to guessed the pellet fell off a ship its the most likely scenario
Yes these were all taken with the 200-600 lens, and indeed it is a heavy beast to walk with, I used to think it was too heavy for anything other than a short walk but not finding it so bad these days, but that could be because the virtual workouts I am doing have really built up my arm muscles LOL
ITs not often I see other photographers out here, I know theres a few but seldom see them, when I lived in Milford there was a whole bunch of us and I would often see one or more on most morning walks
and yes probably people have taken photos of me out walking about without a doubt
