Sid, did you sign a contract with these harriers to have them on call? Amazing photos!

I like getting out in the forest before daylight, and staying out until dark in the evenings, so my birding is usually low light.
With my Nikon P1000, shooting in bird mode, I can’t for the life of me figure out how to up the ISO, so I’m missing a lot.
Well, being out in the forest, rather than out in the open, means that most of the time birds in flight are here and gone before I’m ready to shoot.

From one of my blinds, I heard a commotion straight up, which turned out to be a pair of blue birds excitedly taking turns ducking into a hole/ potential nest cavity. I do hope they use it.

I caught this guy moving upside down—he said it’s to show off his strength.
How about the young men in your area after 180ml?

Thanks Sam, I do kinda..... I live in the same place as this pair and have been photographing them and their offspring for seven years now so we are pretty used to one another. I feed them a small amount every few days at this time of year and leave roadkill out for them as and when I find it and in return for that I get some shots.

It reminds me of the one below. I took it a couple of years back. I always thought it looked like a composite of a single bird, but it is actually a single frame with 3 birds in it, all in different stages of diving...

Gannets...

Shortly before that...

And shortly after...

Impressive shots! The second bird in the first photo is a real standout—head perfectly upright while the body’s upside down. Their agility is incredible!
And the fact they’re flying together like this definitely saves you a lot of Photoshop time too!
