Thats a nice collection of shots
I particularly like the mistletoebird - good pose & great bokeh

I'd be very happy if I could find such an assortment of birds around my backyard
nice shooting

Lovely shots Paddy. The clarity is superlative.
Just snapped this one in my back yard- 300mm lens - it was a bit far away. Anyone know what sort of raptor this is?

Found it, Crested Hawk or Baza -

Very nice set. I'd be more than happy to have taken them. :thumbsup:

Thanks all. Great to have a Baza around Jen, stunning looking birds!
