2 best shots from Australia Zoo this afternoon.

I went to Australia Zoo today with my dad for a look and a few photos.. In all of my excitement, I forgot to bring the ISO up from 100 to 400 or so.. and this resulted in a lot of missed shots.. I cant believe I didn't think of it when i composed a shot and it said 1/30th ~ 1/15 etc.. I just didnt think to raise the ISO... Silly me...

Anyways, I did manage to get a couple of nice shots....

First one is of a brolga, 1/50th hand held 70mm f/4
Second is a Kookaburra, 1/100th 200mm f/4

Thanks for looking.

EDIT: The Kookaburra photo was taken through a bird net... It was manually focused because the camera was having trouble with seeing through the net... I was even more so impressed by the shot considering...
