Excellent capture of the osprey, sogs! Very attractive.

Lovely capture of the Grey Heron, John! Great lighting.

Beautifully timed shot, Jonathan...very nicely captured.

Thanks Mike

Thanks Lester, appreciate the your comment on the Sanderling head-on shot.

I used Servo, Whole Area, Subject tracking, Animals, Eye Detect, Switching Tracked Subjects=1, Case A (interesting, I thought I had it set on Case 2), Electronic Shutter., H Continuous.

In this instance, the backgound was fairly clear, and the little guy though coming fast was quite a way off initially. I had time to made sure focus was locked with shutter half-press before fully pressing the shutter to start the burst. 3 of 5 shots in the burst were in focus. I tried a second burst as he got closer, but I must have lost focus lock because they were all garbage!

Thanks that is interesting.

"Switching Tracked Subjects=1, Case A"??

The tracking adjustment is greyed out in mode A for me?

Terrific head-on shot of the Sanderling, EB! It really came out nice. Head-on shots are almost always tough for me.

What an eye grabber this shot is, Paul! It is so cool looking! Beautiful work!

Absolutely gorgeous, Dennis! I'm jealous. It's simply unfair that you are able capture these amazingly beautiful shots in your own backyard.:-P:lol:

Stupendous shot of the Eagle Owl, Jose! Marvelous work for sure. By the way, what does CRC stand for. I'm terrible at abbreviations.

Very cool shot, Jose! I really enjoy this one.

Fantastic shot, Jose! All three are in very nice focus.

Very attractive flight shot of the Black and white Stork, Lester!

Spectacular incoming shot of the Bald Eagle, Ed!

Many thanks Mike.
The cooler weather made for some nice clear morning lighting. Happy trails.

Brown Pelican. Head on shots are easier with big slow birds!

Thanks Sogs, these shots tend to be hit and miss (mostly miss!) as the birds are so close (5-6 metres) and the action happens so fast they are hard to frame and follow.:-)

I have so many shots of them OOF, exiting the frame or being photo bombed by another OOF bird entering the frame...:cry:

Cheers

Dennis
