I keep trying to get decent photos from our white-tailed eagle.
They don't like to come close. But this time I got a photo from the adult tercel.
He was just running away from two crows. Later he landed on the frozen lake.
This is from a few hundred meters away:
R6m2+800STM+1.4x@1120mm and still almost 1:1 crop.

Carrion crows (corvus corone).
In the last picture: what do you think the crow is carrying in its beak?

They have gorgeous iridescent colours when the sun strikes them at the right angle, as you have here, about as good as they get.

Egyptian Geese. Shutter speed was too low at 1/640s but they were more than 40m away so it worked. (R5ii RF 200-800mm).

I love the way he spreads its wings and curves its tail. Very nice shot.

Thank you. Who says you can't have nice background separation at f/10? I'm really liking that lens.
