Thanks Kirk. I was right under the tree they were landing in. I fired some away in burst mode and managed to capture a couple of good ones with this being the best.

If I got a shot like that it would probably be because I'm being attacked by some huge stone age bird and I'd most likely get pooped on as well.

This is a really nice vantage point and view. Nicely done!

Luckily they were in the low branches as I the longest lens I have at the moment is 300mm.

Great shot! And you didn't get your lens messed...

Thanks. Luckily neither the lens or my head lol

I like that tail spread. Nice catch.

I think the red in the tail really makes the image stand out.

If I didn't know he was landing, I would think he just tipped over, after a hard night of drinking! Awesome shot!
