The northern bald ibis, hermit ibis, or waldrapp (Geronticus eremita)

very nice - I had to look this bird up. Apparently not many left in the world.

I like it. Did you use the 300 or the 70-200 with ext or without?

Kingfishers are so hard to get close enough to for photography.... Congratulations on the shot!

Thanks Don and Candyman. The Blue Tit was taken with a 7D with a Mk1 300f2.8 lens. I loved this lens but have now got the Mkii version which is out of this world, just love it.

This is so great if you can take a shot on the same level as the bird or animal. It makes it special like coming real close. Reminds me of this tv nature program where they put a camera on the bird....it is amazing like you're flying with them.
