Originally posted by reh321 In the third one, it is hard to make out his face, but in general these are fine photos of a difficult target. It is encouraging to see how well your KP + PLM lens focused.
He flew off the post before I got more than 10 yards closer and I had to hurry when shooting because the wife was complaining about my swinging about trying to shoot the bird as it came overhead, when she wanted to leave, "right now!" Also the sun was behind him and almost directly overhead, maybe just a little to the bird's left when on the pole so not the best conditions.
