Wow Mick, these are truly great!
Where did you shoot these and how did you manage to get so close? When I try to photograph a bird of prey, they always fly away before I am even within a few 100 meters.

Thanks, the birds are shot from a hide using the 500 prime and 1DX and sometimes the 1x4 extender. The shot I got but was sooo close to being a top one was when a male killed a chaffinch landed on the post but the damm thing wouldnt turn round!!!!

Seems a bit of chromatic aberration in the bird's head, but considering that was cropped, you still think it is a good lens?Don Haines said:
