Thread: Post your birdlife shots

The Fantails are predictable where are going to perch. Yes they are moving fast.

Purple Swamphen Porphyrio porphyrio a portrait.

Young wedge tail eagle, there was a group of three but this was the only pic I had time for before they all disapeared. This pic was at about 50 metres with the tamron 18 to 270



cheers

I would love to capture ome of this regal birds
To have a sharp image with a 300mm lens the ideal distance is 10 meters, 50 meters is out of range for a 600 mm lens if a excellent image is what the photographer like to have.
600mm = $ 11000

I know someone with a 600mm. I'm too scare to even pick it up. It comes up with the goods in the way of bird pics. He's got one of the new Nikon 2x TC as well. Doesn't that combo reach out and grab the little beggers!

A shot today... cloudy conditions with a little sun when I took it.

Great capture Carlos with very good exposure control.
These fellows are moving fast and they are hard to capture them.
