OK well here are some of my contributions from yesterday. I haven't finished going through the whole lot. All pics taken with the 80-400VR.

Swamp Harrier (juvenile I think)


Black-Shouldered Kite


Nankeen Kestrel


The first pic was cropped quite a bit. The last one I wish was a bit sharper. Sure was a lot of raptors.

Yep, most definately a juv swamp harrier. I was looking at those shots myself lastnight but mine are a bit dark because of the lighting being too high.

Incredible shots.. I especially like the first shot..

Makes me lust after the 80-400 even more

Not only are the shots superb but you know the names of the species and that is impressive

Great shots, nice and sharp. You certainly know how to handle that lens.

Terrific shots, especially #1.

great shots and nicely cropped......... 1 & 2 do it for me........ I am still chasing ducks with a loaf of bread......

cheers

The first 2 are excellent shots, Nicole. The 2nd is my fav, very nice!
The last one, I'm guessing that the bird flew through your focal point and DOF, since he was coming directly at you.

Nicole

great shots from what seems like a fun day (weather notwithstanding). I like #1 the best.

Thanks for the comments.

Kerry, it may also have been the shutter speed. The SS on the last one was 1/640. I should have bumped up the ISO a bit more. Will just have to go back and try again.

Hi Nicole,

#1 is best. I can see what i have missed
