I was just trying to get some landing shots of a Flycatcher.

Wind was wrong but I think I got the right Idea.

I think the last shot stands out, lovely catchlight and a nice pose.

I had some comments, but i deleted them as i didn't know if you wanted any comments.

Needed a change in wind but didn't get it for incoming or profile shots.

I alway enjoy comments but I can see things need some work. Would love to have gotten some Profile or incoming

Great set Gary. Did you pre focus on the stick and use manual or is this all with AF?

I've got a female Rose Breasted Grosbeak who makes a dive for the same stick all the time, that I'd love to catch, but she's too fast for AF, I think. I haven't seriously tried yet.

Love the background, perch and they are sharp... too bad you were not facing the bird but I know thats not always possible. Thanx for sharing. But I also see if you were facing him you will bed shooting into the light. Good job.

I set it up focused on the stick and start shooting as the bird comes in Burst mode 5/sec. I just need a little change in the wind to get a profile shot
