Great action shots...I'm saving up for my 500 IS, still a while away :(.

[Anthony J Howe]

Great captures of both of them together, a real bonus, well done Rob, nice ones.

[StarDog]

Great BIF captures - Bob

[Sindri Skulason]

Excellent in-flight shots as always Rob. Very well done indeed. :-)

[Lame-Duck]

gyrob.....I really like both shots. The first one is simply a great, clear shot of the Sparrow Hawk, while the second one depicts terrific action.

Wow Rob you must live in bird heaven! Great shots, but I wondering if you walk round with a dead rabbit and a dead robin in your kit to attract all these raptors! :)

[Gary Fairhead]

Very nice pair of images here Rob. The first shows the wonderful pattern on this bird. Having 2 of them in the second image is icing on the cake....nicely done. I take it you are hand holding that beast :D

Yes hand held Gary - i have a great gimble and monopod but for birds in flight its just about a waste of time as you miss to many shots.
