Flexible Tern . . . love watching these guys at work . . .

Very much against the light hence the processing but I still like the timing of this one.

Nice one, it always amazes me how something the size of a Canada Geese going past seems to elicit such indifference from nearby smaller birds.

70D 400mm 5.6 1/1600 iso 250

What great timing to get that.

A eurasian nuthatch has just finished nest-cleaning. This is shot at 1/3200s, but that was not fast enough. When the beak appears in the opening I start firing at 10 fps. That gives me one frame in the air, before it´s gone.

I have not used the 7DII much with the long whites and for those who pixle peep, I think you can see that I have pushed noise reduction to as much as I can, before it looks plastic. So to benefit from the extra reach, it is important to have enough light. If not I prefer the 1DX. I admit that my post processing skills sucks though ...

Good catch Eldar.
Not an easy shot to catch from bird size, flying speed to surrounding area.

Totally agreed, the smaller birds are like lightning!

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

The two ducks on the first picture are so... funny! ;D Well done fragilesi.

Wedge tail eagle, sequence. The light was a little harsh and the distance a bit further than I would have preferred for a 300mm lens.

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

Thanks Cllick, have to admit I love ducks, they can be spectacular like most birds can but sometimes they add a bit of comedy too.

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