Whistling Kite

[Ralph]

On the Renmark (South Australia) riverfront I seen the Whistling kite which isn't unusual as we have them at home to but in a new place so I got the shots I wanted.
I do struggle with inflight shots and it is one area I would like to get much better at.

G'day Ralph

A beaut collection of images - I am impressed with the sharpness and feather detail ... that lens combo of yours is working 'real beaut mate'

Phil thank you for what you have said it does mean a lot to me when you say such things.

Great shots Ralph. Lovely detail and colours on the whistlers. I saw plenty of these on my Murray River cruise and got lots of shots of them in flight. They love to dive into the river and catch fish.

[Ralph]

Thanks mate and I live so close to the river here in Mildura and I know where a breeding pair of them are and I am yet to capture a shot of one of them doing a dive. I have always been too slow. I think I watch and then remember why I am there but then it is all over.

You'll just have to pretend you're a piece of grass, lay down, set your camera and wait - it will happen!

[Ralph]

Yer I get amazed watching and just forget I have my camera. One day the penny will drop and I will get ready and stop watching.
