Very good.

It appears he/she has a wisp of spider web hanging from a wing-tip and it is easily discernible.

Is that what we call river cane he is perched on ?

I have the same camera and lens; I often carry two cameras; and, depending on the situation, I will have the 50-500 either on the 7DMkII or on the 7D.

I have found that the 7DMkII will allow much closer auto-focusing with the 50-500 than the 7D will; the 7D will give up at around three or four feet; whereas, I can poke the lens right up against something with the 7DMkII.

Thank you very much! I'm sorry, but I don't know what it was perched upon. I think it was one of the species of bamboo. River cane is native to the USA, but it may have spread to India.

Looks good. Impressive considering the high ISO

I just assumed the photo was in USA; in India it most likely is a species of Bamboo.

I never investigated, but I always figured our river cane was a close relative to Bamboo; they sure look alike.

River cane is a species of bamboo. I didn't know some bamboo was native to the Americas until I looked it up.

And the photos; did that cure that problem as well ?

I lost some photos (like a good flying dragonfly shot) - only because I formatted my card - figuring it was my first course of action. Using my old pc usb 2.0 ports work perfectly for transferring now, but obviously slower than usb 3.

My pci-e USB port has been acting up and cutting in and out - I tried plugging into a different usb (2) port and its dependable and working fine.

I installed USB-3.0 cards in two of our machines and then added front USB-3.0 panels that connect to the cards.

This worked fine for a long time until the USB-3.0 ports on the wife's machine just quit out of the blue.

The set-up on my personal machine is all still working fine.

Your post reminded me that I need to get the problem with the wife's machine sorted.

I used four different brands of components as this was done one piece at a time as finances allowed; I guess I need to figure out what brand I used on mine and get more of the same to fix her's.

Finally getting some tern shots. As usual a large crop due to the distance. I haven't captured a shot like this before. The beak just cutting the water. Mostly see them diving.

And the usual tern diving shots. Again big crops. Adjacent frames.

Osprey now. I like this picture for some reason. Maybe it is the separation from the background.

Rod

Another dive. He's closer this time.

Waiting for the train maybe? Only resized for posting.

And not flying. A couple of frequent visitors where I go to take my eagle, osprey etc. pictures. In the second shot it looks like he might have a potato chip.

ISO 16000 doesn't look bad.
