Here is one sexy bird I captured in Hervey Bay, Queensland Australia. It's a Brown Boobie, ...look how it dived for a fish.
Amazing what nature creates!

And here is some sort of an Eagle, possibly a Gurney but don't take my word for it. If anyone knows please let me know.
Cheers

Some birds !! They are all over the place !! Saw some really great ones, we are all just doing a great job (IMHO !!) I have some young blackbirds in my bachyard and that's a lot of fun!! My dog is protecting them against the cats !! Here are some photo's.

Great shots again.
Maskedmann's Heron taking flight is great, and Themisa's ultra close ups are spectacular, also.
Here are my humble shots:




I don't get around much so I have take photos from where I live.
both were taken with a minolta 400/4.5 + 1.4 TC, rather heavy...

greetings,
Bernd

Hello

I have been considering to purchase a 1.4 TC to my 400/4.5 APO G !

I'm shooting mostly birds, and after seen these photos, it's no doubt.

I just have to have a 1.4 TC !!

Hi, yeah, in terms of sharpness and even AF speed you won't be disappointed!
Without a tripod, it's a bit tricky though... I guess it's over 3kgs which is a lot after a while....
greetings,
Bernd
P.S: larger shots here: Gallery

I have one of the originals which is listed as being Ok for the 400/4.5. PM me if you want to start negotiations.
