Work, work work, but I did grab the camera for this two days ago. Not great but it's something to post and it shows a different angle.

I was playing with the large frame AF and couldn't understand why it was messing up. I think I now know - it was set for face recognition (of humans). Like why would it not focus on a red, white and black head and instead choose a blondish tree! :-[ Still struggling with the 1DX2 but making headway.

Nice point of view Jack.

Thanks Monte, as you know it's tricky to drop everything and run for a camera and get a good shot but my wife is keeping her eyes open too. Not to mention the cold when running out inappropriately dressed!

Some shots I took of sparrows in our garden - we have a feeder set up with bamboo as a backdrop about 10 feet behind, camera set on a tripod and pre-focused

7D2 with 100-400Mkii + 1.4xtc, ISO1600, f9 and 1/4000

Those are hard shots to get Mike, specially against that lovely green background, well done!

Slowly getting better at this. I believe this is an immature Red-Shouldered Hawk.

I know the topic is BIRD in flight, so this violates that as it is BIRDS in flight.

The contrasting colours of the birds makes that really effective. Well seen.

Thank you, Grant. It could become a regular event when time is short to get out and about.

This is a very cool photo! Looks like a design.
