Really nice picture.

Usually you are under the bird, only sometimes above. But almost never at the same level.

Great shot.

Wow.

Very nice picture.
And on top of all: 840 mm VS 1/640 s. The IBIS seems to be working fine.
Even though the technology doesn't do the pictures, sometimes it supports a lot.
What kind of tripod setup do you use?

I am using a gitzo 3542 LS tripod with a Wimberley WH200 gimballhead.

This picture was taken from the car.
I have a set up like on this photo.
Skimmersack II from naturescapes on the car door ,with the window down.
On top of this a skimmerpod from naturescapes with the lens atached on it.
I can move around with the pod without the change that i move the manual focus of the lens by accident.
If there is an opportunity to get a low angle shot, i will take off the skimmerpod with the lens ,
and lay it on the ground on low level.
