The Singing Minstrels.
D3 + 600mm AFS + 1.4 conv.
1/160 @ f7.1
ISO:1000.
Ex Comp 0 EV.

Last brood of 2008. Down to three. Hobbies partly responsible for there decline I think.
Pity they had to nest on the dark side of the moon.

Great shot- especially at the ISO setting too.
Maybe wouldn't stand a closer crop.
Cheers

Very nice Major I would like to see a closer crop to focus attention a little more on the subject.

that's a great one Major, to get all 3 with their mouths open is something else. Excellent.

Great shot Major - really different. Personally, I prefer the original, but both are good.
