even with fast cameras and big lenses things go wrong

The Headless Goldfinch

The headless kite, could be a red kite could be a black kite, who knows can't see its head! that said the tail gives it away

0.056 seconds of shutter lag and I'm still not quick enough

words fail me on this shot

gotta love the headless birds...

they are a bit rare these days, think its to do with loss of habitat

Thanks for the boost to my self esteem! (Nice to know I'm not the only one who gets such shots)

OK, thank you!
This was sorely needed after I had seen your "just about ok"-thread roll: ) first.

I was just about to got out and purchase my Kiln when you restored my faith in the photographic art of cutting things off - seriously I was.
The other set are boreing anyone can shoot birds with heads on but to catch a bird of prey just going out of the frame is excellent work - keep it up:hail:

As long as you don't lose your head... ;-)

Always wonderful to see other people get it wrong, too....

Nice! They look very similar to some of mine. As for the first one......they never seem to stay still long enough.

The Headless Goldfinch

I can't help but think of one of the funniest lines in movie history:

"We've got not food. We've got no jobs. OUR PET'S HEAD ARE FALLING OFF!!
