Lion rock, Alan, Wiebe and Alan again with his buzzard and moorhen - grate shots!
I didn't have opportunity for real "hunt" last weekend. Took few shots nearby - Java sparrow feeding on Octopus tree.
P.S.Wiebe, I just had the same problem with the new site but it's not really serious - everyone will adjust!

Apparently the new site requires attachment size to be below 1MB... Anyone know a way to circumvent that limit, without linking to a completely different server (flickr or whatever)?
Now I resize my pictures to a lower pixel count and quality to comply with the limit - which may get me comments that the detail cannot be assessed anymore

Thanks Click, juanMa and ISv! That was taken after the sun had dropped behind the trees so it was a lot cooler but I've spent days sitting in the mud waiting for to get close enough(and/or do something interesting).
July and August are usually the big months for the Yellow Crown's, mainly because the crabs are plentiful and there are young herons getting ready to fledge. One full adult put on quite the show for me, catching a dozen crabs in short time. Here is one of the highlights that I jokingly named 'Hanging On'.

These are some fine shots, nicely isolated. The group looks much better than the previous attempt at posting
Wiebe.
P.S.> Did you use tripod for this capture? With 1/250s either the VR must be excellent, your handholding must be rock-steady or mono-/tripod comes into play...
- I know... The problem with this one are the pixels I had to cut - this is not the entire group, some members of the "congress" went to the trash-been
!Wiebe, I always (almost) use a tripod, 200-500 is too heavy for my age... Tripod, the ballhead is 95% of the time not locked so, the image stabilization is on, focus tracking, short bursts (and try to control the adrenaline if you can
)!

Nice green heron, my locals are pretty shy and they are a challenge for me like the kingfishers. Light in this one is so even, kudos.

Hi dpc / Douglas,
Nice pictures to begin with...!
When you drag and drop images into the 'post reply' window they immediately appear 'in-line' and at full size.
When you use "attach files" it will (by default; at least for me) appear as thumbnail, but there is the option to set it to full image (just click that button
)At least this is how it works for me...
Wiebe.
