Hi there, my wife and I went out bush/farmland today (20min from Ballarat) and came across a family of White-fronted Chats, litterally. It was beautiful I parked the car and walked 10metres and parked my backside in the soaking grass, after 20-30 minutes they simply ignored me. The first photo is of a very young fledgling (fledged today I would say) my wife almost stepped on it. It could very well explain why the family hung around. The second and third shots are of the parents.I tried shooting in Tv mode for the first time, seems to have worked (I think lol), here are 3 of my favorite chat shots of the day. I shot with my 70-200mm F/4 L, Wow! I love this lens.Comments and critacisms most welcome as always.Kind regards Darren

The first shot is a cute little fledgling and hope he makes it to full grown.
I love the angle on the bird in the in-flight shot, looks almost comical.
