My best bald eagle yet
K3-3 with 150-450 + 1.4x TC
Cropped to about 50% of the frame
Even at F11, the DOF is too narrow to get everything sharp

Another colourful bird from the Chobe, the saddle billed stork. In my mind I call it the clown bird

An immature Bald eagle that is molting into its next stage of maturity(except now during the winter). The various shades of brown at this age is quite striking. I'm guessing about 1 1/2 years old. Shot with a K3III and the 560. I purchased the lens used and have used it almost every day for about 6 months. So far so good. It's a love hate relationship for sure. It can produce some outstanding images. But CA control is not very good for what it sold for new. In comparison, the 150-450 is a reliable bargain. That being said, I'm not getting rid of it anytime soon.

Alas, looks like Blondie has joined the long list of roadkill. Coming home from town this afternoon, a white kangaroo dead in the roadside drain.
This will test the other hypothesis, that there is more than one white kangaroo in the district.
This from 12 months ago:
Cheating a bit - that is K1ii/DA60-250/f4, not quite 300mm!

I've had to deal with several weeks of mostly overcast skies. Low - light photography is a lot easier if the bird sits still and you can reduce the shutter speed! Finally some sun for this shot yesterday at my favourite Long-tailed Duck spot.

One more shot of the Harlequins that continue to hang around - just three of them this time, plus a female King Eider that's also attracting attention here. All these birds are rare here and should rightly be on the east or west coasts at this time of year. Somebody got a shot of the Eider with a huge crayfish in its bill the other day - wish I had been there! They have powerful gullets that can crush just about anything.

Could have given me a bit of notice, as I had to go out, but before I went I snapped a couple with the FA*300/4.5 ...
Breakfast! The joey is feeding from a teat in the pouch. She can support a small embroyo feeding full time and a more mature joey approaching weaning. Clearly this one is ready to get the boot, but mum will still give it a ride
Blondie is a white kangaroo, a genetic oddity, not an albino. Speculation was that she was infertile, but evidently not so! .
