Hi Guys,
Haven't been around for a while as 12 days ago our son Laurens was born so i have been a "busy daddy" with loads of sleepless nights...
The day before the delivery i was still trying to get some decent shots of Spoonbills at a nature reserve i discovered near my home. So had the hide set up at 05.00 in the morning and got a lot of nice stuff. This is one from the afternoon when an Osprey flew by and scared them off giving me the chance to get some flight shots.
Greetings,
Jeroen Stel

Lovely exposure on this one. Even though the right hand bird is going out of shot it still works OK I reckon.
Cheers

Hi Jeroen,
Nice shot. Flying birds are a favorit subject to shoot for me, but it's difficult to get a good one I experienced

well captured and composed, they're very graceful birds in flight.
Congrats on your new arrival, I hope you still get time for some photography
