I am soooo jealous of these. Are you using manual focus, Brian?

Thanks eccles. Yes manual focus, I did try auto but they move to fast .

Superb again Brian.

I keep telling the missus that I need some 'L' lenses, but she just laughs when she sees the price.

I'll keep working on her.

Well done Brian, the only time I had any luck at this was when the female was laying eggs, and the male was gaurding her, unfortunatly there was too much foliage in the way to get clear shots, I'm jealous.

Great shots! I keep hinting about that 200mm L to my husband...telling him how important it is for my equine action shots.... I'll have to show him these and prove how versatile it is, lol.
