The Ibis is good and the sea eagle too.
A great set of pics.

Thanks Jeanette as I squeezed the shutter release on the (1st photo) Gull Billed Tern I sensed that if everything worked, I would have a good shot. These shots just would not be possible without auto focus!

Thanks RB yes, we were surprised at the black wingtips and had fleetingly glimpsed the red strips previously, so it was quite nice to get a reasonable photo to better see the detail.

Stunners Dennis...

Thanks Alex these were all taken at 1/1600 wide open at F5.6 at ISO400. The Osprey (#5) was quite some distance away so the photo is only a relatively small crop of the full frame so I guess thats why the DOF is good. The main difficulty in this above the wing shot was keeping the bird in the frame as I was free falling out of the micro light! LOL!
You should see the size of my back and arms now, hauling all this glass around and pointing it upwards!
Cheers
