Seems the camera is pretty good for tracking moving birds against complex backgrounds.

Holy crap !!! Sharp as !!!!
You are an evil bugger really - here I am with my trusty old d70, lusting after a d300 like you wouldn't believe, and you go and post shots like that !!!!!

Probably superfluous but what was the lens? Just a niggly thought but I hope this D300 doesn't make it too easy to be the world class photographers we all aspire to :o These are very nice images.

Wow, the first shot is bloody excellent!! Did you use the automatic zoom tracking feature or whatever it's called?
I'm getting my D300 early next year - the lust builds with every D300 photo I see :)

These aren't my shots. They were shot by two different people who are members of NSN.

This thread says a bit about the shooting technique used in the first shot

oops, got a little bit overexcited there and didn't read the posts properly :)
Either way, looking forward to my purchase and more D300 photo goodness.
