These starlings are very common but make great subject to practise flight shots on.

Ok, now I have to go change my underwear!

Think I just had an accident with excitment with this one! What a beautifully captured image! What were you settings for this?

Hi Bev

Like most of your shots, brilliant picture! Not quite as excited as Spooks! Must be my Midlands Temperament, tend to get more excited up north by the sound of it.

Wish i had taken a shot anywhere near this good

Oh dear Spooks... nothing more uncomfortable... and if you have run out until you have done the washing, well...nothing else for it but to go commando!

Now getting that vision from out of my head.. the setting for the above is:-
ISO 200
f4.5
1/1000
AV mode.

Its the warmer temperature up here, Dennis - it gets the bladder more easily!

What lens did you use, Tawny?

Thanks everyone appreciate the feedback.
I used the 70-200L f2.8 for this shot Mark.

I love this picture and I also hate it.....Just when I though I was getting to grips with bird photography a stunning image like this appears,Oh! well back to the drawing board.

Lol! many thanks Ian (in one way i suppose. Lol) took me ages, i practised on my dogs first, running around the fields

, gave me great panning practise, then moved on to bigger birds ie. swans and gulls, as they are not so erratic and you have a bigger focus point to concentrate on

. Look forward to seeing your bird shots.
