Lucky enough to capture this lovely Azure Kingfisher in the early morning light. Downing a little snack …

This whole photographing Birds in Flight (BIF) thing is tricky… WAY tricky…

Perhaps I’ll have better luck photographing our little dog. He seems more than happy with the experience 🙂 I even got some Dog In Flight (DIF) 🙂

Crazy Happy Good

Flap

More mediocre practicing at capturing birds in flight … tracking birds at 600mm is somewhat tricky 🙂 Large somewhat slower moving ones are at least possible. Those small fast moving ones… forget it 🙂

Ospreys at Play

NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR @ 600 mm, 1/2500 sec at f/7.1, ISO 640

Got lucky with this trio of Ospreys. I think the two flapping their wings practising flight and landing to their enormous nest are juveniles. Provides an excellent view of their wings and feathers
