HOLY CRAP!

Well with a title like that you might be mistaken the image to be a shot of a priest having a dump! But no, image how delighted and proud I am to have gotten the following bird shots at not 300mm, but try 28mm!

#1

#2

#3

#4

This bird was such a great model, it even let me touch it's beak and stroke its head, so as a thank you, I gave him a little 'pat' on the head for a job well done!

PS: This is a wild bird taken down at Baldoyle Estuary this morning... and to think, I wasnt even going to bother taking my camera!

Great pictures. He may be from the wild, but I would say this bird is pretty comfortable with people!

I like shots #2 and #3. They look like they could almost be joined together.
