Just wished I could get one of these in flight but much to fast and erratic.
This pair was taken in Meru National Park, Tanzania
EOS 1DX
200-400 mm F4 with 1.4 EX at 560 mm
F6.3
ISO 800
1/500

Very nice to get two side by side. When I visited Tanzania, I stayed a few days in Meru. I did make it out to the park entrance, but a mixup at the gate prevented us from going in. I know it is a rather small park. I would be interested to know what you thought of it.

Nice poses, both birds. I like the tangled perch, excellent work.

Nice getting them both together and good eye contact with each, Ken. There appears to be more dof than I would have expected with that lens and aperture-it really worked well here.
