One from today a record shot really as I was just seeing how good the image quality is with the 800 & 1.4 converter autofocus works very well I just need a bit more practice most important thing seems to be getting the tripod at the right height.

If the full size file looks as good as the low rez image then I think you can safely say that the 800 + tc does work. Well done on getting the shot using that combo!

Hi Phillip,
I guess these guys will be putting on a stunning display of acrobatics anytime now? Would be great if you could manage to get them during their display flights.
A lovely shot of a stunning and very misunderstood bird IMO.
Nice work
Regards
Rob

Great capture and beautiful detail. Just got the 800mm lens myself and am very impressed.

Very nice Phillip, the combo seems to be fine. Stunning shot too.

Great, I love raptors and have been unsuccessful to date getting any good shots. Saw one fly over Arundel WWT on Sunday but way too far away to photograph.
Well done I am very jealous

Cracking shot Phillip with a conv. and 800mm lens I am surprised you could find the bird in the sky.
