I don't usually do BIFs but this is one of my favorites...

6D, 400mm f/5.6 L non-IS, Low Light, Wild Peregrine - what could possibly go wrong?!

Just to prove the unlikely can happen. In this case my preferred wildlife body was being used by my son for his Duke of Edinburgh Award.

Captured this Peregrine Falcon very early in the morning, presume the first hunt for food. 1/160 sec was the unlikely shutter speed for this panned shot.

Hi Gilbo65.
Stunning shot, nailed the focus too, with a 6D! ;D Have you cropped for composition, or were you really using a side AF point? Excellent pan technique too!

Hi Folks.
Too many stunning shots here to comment on all individually, still really enjoying them, thanks to all for sharing.

Cheers, Graham.

Kudos . . . of all the birds to pick you had to pick the fastest!

The less glamorous side of BIF

Just another inch to the right would be perfect - Great capture fragilesi

Thanks! And yes I was almost falling over backwards at the time so I'll take what I got

I ran into that situation before - tracking the terns. Lucky, my 400mm f2.8 IS II was on the gimbal head

Sadly these days I think I need to be put on a gimbal head more than the camera!

Thanks, how about these for a flight of grumpy, hardliner ducks?

And a second picture to show that they can be "cool" too !

I like that, a good case where you don't need to fill much of the frame with the bird.

Thanks! When you don't have the right lens for the job, you have to make do.
