    Another set of superb bird images, John. You sure are setting the bar very high.

    Thanks Ray. Ya gotta set the bar somewhere, may as well be high.
    It has taken me quite a while to develop the knowledge and technique to get images like these, as you no doubt know it doesn't happen overnight. My birds in flight, however need a lot more practice.

    A very nice series of images, John.
    They stimulate my want to go out and capture similar images but for the fact it is very windy and wet here in Tassy for the next week and I have become a fair weather photographer.
    I have developed some bad habits and laziness during the virus shutdown.
    Must pull my finger out and commit myself to it on the weekend.
