Okay now I'm crying and absolutly green with envy. I have been trying to capture Ibis as they fly over but as yet, nothing worth sharing . What a capture, it's fantastic, and so very clear. What lens did you have on your camera?

[a_brewley]

Wow. I too am curious about what lens you used

[Angelb]

[mpascal]

many thanks guys

well, birding is not much very different in fishing....you rise up early, be in the lakes before sunrise and spend all day in one or two spot/s where birds passes by or linger around....and also sometimes, you go home empty handed hehehe

i'm using a minolta300/2.8 + 1.4xtc


@michele, i got a shot of an ibis for you




cheers
