Hey click, we were planning to motorhome east cross country for my son's graduation this year in Montreal but that didn't work out and we flew. Now he's just landed in London (not Ontario 
) to do his master's there so sadly I'm no longer sure about a cross Canada trip, but I surely would look you up if we did!
Now, I had determined to try out the 1DX2 4K60 today after very poor luck with stills of waxwing flight. Of course it got cloudy and was almost raining at 2PM when they start their feeding but I went anyway and did some videos. If a bird was already on a stump I'd AF and start the video recording until he flew. Alternately, I'd focus where he likes to hunt from and start the video and hope. Most of the time it worked within a minute. However, on taking the captures from the video it is quite evident that it's ISO 12500 and very grainy so I only will post this one sample. Hopefully, with sun soon, there will be a chance to get to maybe ISO 2500.

After lurking in these forums for quite some time, I guess it's time to contribute as well
Now holiday is over I was catching up on posts and came across the Kingfisher - very nice picture AlanF.
Just wondering, what kind of light did you have - the colours seem a bit dull (not sure if this is the right term, I'm not native English speaking). About a year ago I had the opportunity to watch these birds from a hide with the morning sun on them and they were so brilliant in colour / tone!

...Well, you 're always welcome if you have the chance.
Nice shot, Jack. I like your bird, he looks angry.
