I was checking out a GBH rookery and Osprey nest this afternoon and this guy showed up:

7D, 100-400L @ 400 mm, 1/1000, f/8, ISO 200

And then he was gone.........7D, 100-400L @ 400 mm, 1/1000, f/8, ISO 200

Any ideas what is?

Thanks for the link David.

And Denise...Wow! Great shot.

I guess I do mean to pry, but in a good way....Are you getting very close to the birds? Shooting with a tripod?? All of your recent photos have had great detail.[Y]
