If I were to start by saying "...and I decided to leave the big lens at home...." you will know what is coming next.

I agreed to take some photos for a local ParkRun event and while waiting for it to start I saw a cuckoo for the first time in my life. Fortunately I had my 70-200 f4LIS which allows a lot of cropping and the first 2 shots were taken with that lens. After the event was over I dived home and got the 100-400 MkII and go the third shot.

There are also some portraits in the other thread.

As most of you would know I normally take pictures of military jets but just down the road from my usual haunts is a farm that once a day feeds the local Red Kite (Milvus Milvus) population. There are hundreds of them in the air at any one point of time and its like a maelstrom of feathers, its near impossible to know what to focus on (and it certainly makes the 7D's AF work for a living).

All taken with the 7D + 300/2.8L

Stunning pictures. Well done, Simon.
