Flying Birds

[wigz]

With the TC the autofocus is a bit too slow for birds in flight but I did manage to get some shots. The hit rate was much lower than normal.

All with Nikon D850, Nikon 500mm PF + 1.4x TC. 700mm f/8

1. A flock of Little Corellas did a couple of noisy fly-pasts



2. More Corellas



3. Intermediate Egret in breeding colour


4. Cattle Egret returning with nesting material



5. Cattle Egret arriving at the nesting tree.

All excellent Alan. I would never get as good as those shots with my gear. Love the last shot, light was spot on. Worth doing some work on that shadow on the wing I reckon.

Thanks Isac, yes that shadow is annoying. I'll have a look at it when I get some time.

Wonderful images. I think you have been practicing!

[wigz]

Thanks Hans. Yes all the time, and you don't see the fails.
