Caught this female Western Bluebird in the first milliseconds of flight.

Very nice capture, ERHP.

More like bird in FRIGHT, rather than FLIGHT,

Coot.v.Egret Face Off.

The Coot started it, the Egret finished it with his Count Dracula pose

Very cool image Petach, it is always fun when one can capture the moment like that

Good timing Petach. You have pressed the shutter button at the perfect time. Well done.

Another shot of one the Peregrines I'm currently following. Again, using a 6D (as my sons seems to have claimed my 7D). I've recently tried using TV mode set to speeds greater than 1/1200 and using auto ISO - as the birds can move so fast and with it, the backgrounds. Not for the purist maybe, but in terms of "keepers" - a step up with the body for sure.

Hand held using a 400f/5.6L (non IS)

Captivating image. I've been to this region on holiday, and love the landscape colours.

Thanks for sharing!

Hi, my first post here... Osprey in flight, Canon EOS 7D, 70-200F4 L + 1.4 TC III, 1/800 s, f/5.6 + 1.0 EV, ISO 160, in lightly overcast light, straight up

Ibis and Spoonbill.

These are my first set of photos after latest VC firmware update on Tamron 150-600. Pictures are not coming out sharp and VC is not working properly for stationary objects. Sending the lens back.

Like to tell you after 9 hours in the blind I finally got the shot, but it was taken out the car window.

More hovering than in flight.

From my recent trip to Botswana. I know it is an eagle, but not sure beyond general classification

I think this is a White Headed Vulture David, fantastic shot, I'd loooooove to go on Photography safari.

I was in South Africa (Londolozi) and Botswana for a total of 17 days. Botswana was with Frans Lanting (he told me the name of the bird, but I was moving on to Lions). Incredible experience in EVERY way. I am much more comfortable shooting mammals than birds.

Hi Kirk.
Stunning, well done.
I think hovering is just another mode of flight. ;D

Cheers, Graham.
