Re: Birds 2011
Thinks its possibly a male Greg, due to the amount of squabbling it was doing with 2 other Willow Warblers.Greg Beetham wrote:A nice littly tweety bird shot NeilOffkey75, is that a female Willow Warbler?

Re: Birds 2011
How do you guys get the shots so sharp when the bird is in flight? I really struggle with that.

Re: Birds 2011
I like the in flight action shot of the Egret aa los banos.
Nice tweety birds ACIPhotos, the smaller they are the harder they are that's for sure. But I think there is no substitute for wallet power when it comes to good bird shots, the lens aa los banos is using is around $12,000 here (new) when I last checked, a tad out of my reach.

Re: Birds 2011
@aciphotos, good shot of the tree creeper
thanks guys!....i don't get the sharp shots in one outing, i study where the birds fly and i scout the place where i should be on a certain time plus constant shooting to improve my technique, and plus a long lens
@greg, i only use a minolta 300/2.8, but still a bit pricey considering it's a 20-yr old lens .....and a 2x teleconverter
another raptor that flew very close and investigated me, whistling kite....

Re: Birds 2011

Re: Birds 2011
Despite being the most plentiful of bops around the place the Whistling Kite isn't as easy as one would think to get a good photo of, unless you get the light in the right angle to illuminate the underside it becomes just another hawk photo. Very nicely done aa los banos.
