I was hoping to join the flip club yesterday, as I was close to a heron that was gobbling up fish. Unfortunately this guy's technique was to put his head back and let the fish slide down - no flip! D2X 500/4 TC14EII 1/200s f/8 ISO 100. Here he goes... {} This is just before the slide commenced... View attachment 13422 The white at the top of the photo is the reflection of a swan that was also observing the heron's technique :lol:
He was lucky enough to have it facing the right direction nice captures Rory hoping to find some next week while I am on vacation
Thanks Andreas. Congrats again on your excellent Cedar Waxwings. Do they come by at a predictable time - I'd love to get a crack at them...
It is an exclusive club that has many levels. herons/egrets, though some think this level should be split: {} spoonbills: {} and my personal favorite, Cranes (oops, I think so far I'm the only one in this level 8) ) {} This is an illustrious group of folks from all over, and I am sure that you will soon be a member if you keep up the good work. Look forward to having you join us..... :wink:
Rory, I have ultimate confidence in your abilities to match the task at hand. Just fire away, and we'll see some flips from you soon....
