You can actually photograph freedom!

Wonderful series, exotic birds, captured with great detail.
I would be interested in lens and camera, used.

Thanks

Hi DominoDude.
I really like this shot, composition, colours, and the slight blur of the wings. Very nice, except for the mouthful of poop, but the I guess they take some every trip so what are you going to do!
Well done.

Cheers, Graham.

Another of the woodpecker species that we have in Sweden. Great Spotted Woodpecker - Dendrocopos major ->

It's just leaving the nest, carrying some of the young ones poo in the bill. I had to pull the trigger already when I could hear the scratching of claws on the inside of the hole, if I waited until I saw the first glance of the adult it would have been a total miss.

I watched this guy eat a fish for about a half hour, hemming and hawing about whether I should try to get around him for better light and position on where I expected him to fly. In the end, I figured I'd miss the opportunity entirely, so I stuck it out.

Yes, it was more or less a constant flow of food in, and waste out. If I'd settled for shooting only incoming I would've gotten the tail-end of the adult. This was slightly better, and the only burst I got that had it coming straight towards me.

Great Blue Heron , face to face. Fun to see front markings in "3D".

I have lots of GBH picts but never with this interesting plumage view. It is semi sharp when you look at it full screen. My 60D's modest tracking ability was lucky to get this shot. Hmm, time to put aside some cash for a 7D m2 !

Here a few from my visit to Zimbabwe a few weeks ago where I did use mostly the 200-400 and the 1Dx:

Had some fun watching a juvenile Belted Kingfisher catch its fill yesterday.

Wonderful action shot ! Belted kingfishers are tough to capture on the wing. Great clarity, a super pict.
