Nice catch!

Oh, I love this! What great dynamism in that moment.

[weaverbird]

Great capture!

[trouble]

Wow! I'm so impressed with the way you've captured that moment with the wings outstretched! Lovely work!

[lark_ascends]

Really lovely!

[egret]

Lovely!

Aw, look at that perfectly evolved seed-eating beak, and those adorable flaily claws!

[shirebound]

Beautiful shot!!

[phoenixfire12]

Perfect shot! Bravo!

[turlough]

Perfect shot!

[nanila]

Thank you! Presently at a ratio of about 1 in 100 shots being decent. :P Hoping that this ratio improves with experience using the lens.

[nanila]

Thank you! Catching birds in-flight at the right time feels like the best prize in bird photography.

[nanila]

Thank you! (And I won't inflict the 99 other shots it took to eventually nab this one on the community. :P)

[nanila]

Thank you! It took patience. And lots of deletion of inadequate shots. :D

[nanila]

Yay, thank you! I enjoyed being reminded that even the most common of little brown birds is stunning in-flight.

[nanila]

Thank you!

[nanila]

Glad you think so; thank you!

[nanila]

...that perfectly evolved seed-eating beak...

Ha, tell me about it. Currently I have to refill the seed feeder twice a day!

[nanila]

Thank you, I'm glad you think so!

[nanila]

It made the other 99 rubbish shots worth taking to nab this one. Thank you!

[nanila]

Thank you!

[weaverbird]

Hee! That IS one of the great benefits of digital, isn't it - being able to tell instantly if you got the shot you wanted. Not to mention never running out of film!

He's such a handsome little fellow! Some folk consider English sparrows, as we call them over here, to be nuisance birds, but I'm very fond of them in all their chatty busy-ness.

I have wood pigeons eating ivy berries outside my window. ♥ Wood pigeons ♥ are rather obviously NOT adapted for perching on flimsy strands of creeper, lol.
