1D2n, 600mm f4 is x1.4, 1/100s, f7.1, iso 400. Evening sunshine.

A first sighting of one of these for me. Such graceful birds. Only had an hour or so with them but will be back sometime.

Yes excellent indeed. Shows off well against the great BG.

Hi Ian,

Lovely job! I may be tempted to loose the top dark band in the bg, but I guess that will then leave the bird too tight to the top. Still super as it is!

Cheers,

Lewis.

I like this one a lot. Beautiful flight shot with a very nice background.

I agree with lewis... losing the top, although putting it tight at the top aestetically looks more pleasing to me.
