Unfortunately I only had my 70-300mm zoom with me at the time and these guys were way up on the tree. Amazing bird to watch.

Nice action shot. I think a judicious cropping of the OOF leaves would be an improvement IMHO. Then you would see the face in the tree trunk. :wink:

What fantastic birds. I rather like the composition of your shot as it is.

Weird looking birds Des :eek:

May be a more distant view than you would have liked, but you have pulled off a nice shot.
