W o w !
Bloody well done, tc202. You have all that it takes in one wonderful shot there. Somehow I don't think it's the lucky shot of your lifetime. I sense more will come.

Today I did a wee bit of 120p HD of a Pileated male, hand held. Not great but not bad either and it's sure tweaked my interest - really smooth slow motion.

Did your thumb get in the way when you were holding the poor bird?

The lighting was very difficult, back lit against very bright light reflecting off the water. I got it respectable by increasing the exposure and microcontrast in RAW, using DxO, then lifting shadows in Photoshop with some further tinkering.

He's a pro, and a very good one. Go to his site and you will see some great stuff.

I think the 400 5.6 still does a good job

Really nice result for tough conditions. Do you ever use a fill-flash? Might have been helpful in this light.
