Very low light so ISO800 required, ok at this size but a bit grainy if viewed large.....I need a faster lens, this will happen once I win lotto

Only 2 birds of prey in NZ and both very hard to get close to. With this shot and my previous post Sunday was my best 'bird of prey day in NZ' day in 4 years of bird photography, absolutely stoked!!

Another one from the Australian Archives. Took this photo two years ago and never could work out why an osprey would carry around a rock!!!!! But it's not a rock, its a turtle - crop it and you can even make out the turtle's head/eyes etc. Thanks blaylock1 for solving the mystery!!

There are only two 'birds of prey' in New Zealand (the Australasian Harrier and the NZ Falcon). Neither are easy to photograph. In 4 years of trying, today I got my best result. In the absence of a better photo, with this one - I can die a happy man........

Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah......yeah, whatever!

Herons at Okarito, Westland, New Zealand. Light was a bit tricky and I've blown a bit of detail out of the white feathers in the exposure, but I still like the shot......

Just been to Okarito, the only known breeding ground for the white heron in New Zealand. Apologies in advance but you are going to be swamped with heron photos over the next few days
