Great timing producing a superb image. I'm not really an ornithological officionado, but credit where credit is due, this excellent.

Spot on, John. 800ISO and flat lighting? Wow.

Thanks both.
Depite causing raised eyebrows I often have the gear set on 640 or 800 all the time. My stuff is not going tpo be used for 6 foot posters so its no big deal.
Cheers

W W John you nailed this one!

David

For such a common bird, it is not always easy to nail it on the ground, let alone in the air. Nice one, John.

Cracking flight shot John.

That's a nice flying Jackdaw John.

Spot on John beautiful capture

Hi John,

As a picture it doesn't excite me an awful lot, but I do like the shape of jackdaw in flight, but I do have to say that catching a bird in flight picture like this requires quite some patience and skill

So far, I know I've not gotten any successful BIF pictures yet. So this is a pretty good picture in that respect

-David

Nice work John although i'd like a little more space all round but that i guess is more personal taste. i might remove that little dark objects under the wing and bottom left corner as they catch my eye a bit. Nice detail on the bird and good exposure.

Brett

Nicely done John...

Speak soon

Nicely exposed and sharp on that eye, great stuff John

Simon

I like it John, frankly, not enough black bird shots here. I think they're equally interesting subjects.

Des

A real nice Jackdaw image John. Nice sharp details where it matters with a nice bit of blur on the wing tips. Nice natural BG & good comp. i wish my canon would produce this sort of quality on ISO 800

Lee

Another one of my bogey birds super flight shot John.

Andy...

cracking flight shot, you've done really well to get the bird in frame without any other Ducks/geese/swans etc in the background!

beautiful

cheers
