if practicable, as you did with the first set. It gives a sense of the bird's motion, and where it's going.

Thanks for the advice. I do not like cropping because crop will take away the vast sky.

Probably a Black Kite.

A tough shot with that lens.

Thanks, it's definitely hit and miss with MF mirror lenses, so I'll be hanging out for a non-mirror telephoto to try my hand at BIF photography again.

That's good, because the suggestion I was trying to make was to crop less than the shots of the stilt and the ibis seemed to be.

The pelican shots are terrific.

Frigatebirds can have a very sinister look about them.

Yellow Billed Egret nearing it's perch, and like the Heron, will vocally make known its approach.
