The Robin in-flight is just fantastic and well timed capture. Very well done Joe.

Nice. You've almost got a self protrait reflected in the bird's eye in shot two!

Nice in-flight shot, and the close-up is cool too!

Thanks Reyno, eccles and Karen. It helps having a sunny day and lots of birds about.

Wow, nice Robin in flight! Great timing Joe.
I'm never good at BIF. I need to practice more.

Nice captures Joe, well done on the BIF as well.:)

Thanks for the comments, Fee and Trevor. This was a lucky shot for me--most of my BIF shots are either OOF or shots of backsides.

From the few in-flights I have of Robins, it appears that they rely heavily on a missle-like posture during most of their flight, flapping only as needed to maintain/gain altitude.
