Spent a wonderful day walking around the 'Parc Ornithologique' in Le Teich, south west France. If you're ever in that area and enjoy watching or like me photographing wild birds then this nature reserve is a real treat!

All shots taken with the 1DMk2, the 400 f/5.6 and a 1.4x extender.

Nice shots! A trifle dark, though. ;-)

Whatever they are you did a great job on them. I really like the 4th one.

Very nice shots. (Though I also think they're a little dark.) Great job in any case.

Great shots...

but these are storcks, except the fourth, which is a heron...

Whoops, thanks for letting me know :o

I'm not sure about these 'dark' images as they look fine on my laptop screen. I've had this problem before so I'll have to take a closer look at how I'm processing/saving my posted images. In the mean time I'll lighten them up.

Thanks!

A laptop is not recommended for processing images by eye, even if you have calibrated it. ;-)
