Grebes

Lovely! what a beautiful sight. Is that a lake or pond? The reflection is very clear. Still air?

Great shot and lovely colours Keith, are you branching out now? I though you specialized in other flying objects? :-\

Well, it has been a while since I posted pictures. This is a set of pictures I took this morning. 7D2, 100-400 II hand held. I think the combination is great. ISO between 500 and 2500. I cant repeat this enough - the focus is good (read GREAT or FANTASTIC for US English ) AFMA value is ZERO! I hope you enjoy them.

Very nice series, Rustom.

Thanks. As you know, I simply held the photography device, held my breath and moved one index finger... The bird (birds - probably two different birds) did much more.

They were at Clear Lake, Ca. I was actually out for the Ospey and these two swam by.
