Who said the 7d was now a poor performer. Still rate this camera highly when you are able to shoot with low ISO.

7D is definitely not a poor performer ... I think with the new gen cameras people unfairly tend to compare a 4 year old camera's performance, but 7D is still capable of taking AWESOME images.

I've noticed in my pictures as well, that the young Osprey have different colour eyes than the parents... does anyone know why?

Maybe "hanky panky".

Nice GH owl shot Gary samples. Lots of other nice shots too. Thanks everyone.

Really amazing captures from everyone. I particularly enjoyed Kerry B's series of exotic species (to me), dpc's raven and geese, CTJohns' spoonbills, gary samples' owl, serendipidy's night heron (Harry?)...just to name a few.

Below is one of the first images I got out of my brandnew Tamron zoom on my first day of trials -- that is to say, this morning. It was overcast but thankfully no rain. I shot everything handheld (tripod too clunky, no monopod yet). The 150-600mm definitely felt heavier than my 70-200mm!
