Very nice shot, Brian.

Not a single close up of a Red Kite, but a single shot showing how closely they follow each
other to take food from the feeding platform.

Cheers Brian

Would love to catch some owls in flight. Here is a Prairie Falcon I happened to catch on a flyby.

Can anyone help me, please? How many flamingos do you count on this picture? Everytime I count I get another result.

;D ;D

Flamingos also fly in a V-formation. And pics like this just happen when you take a 'leg' of the V the right time.

I discovered a nice place to take photos from flamingos in the Camargue Nature Reserve in southern France back in 2012. You can park your car at the shoreline of some salt water lakes and take your chair, sit down and watch - if you want. I couldn't sit down. I had to walk to different places. Especially in the morning or evening, the flamingos moved from their feeding to their sleeping grounds. There was constant air traffic!

I 'only' owned a 7D with the 70-300 L lens at that time, so all these pics were taken with that equipment.

Just watch the bird in the center of the last picture - can you see it? There's not 1 but 2 flamingos flying side by side, from the head to the toes in exactly the same position.
