It looks like a Oriole . But not knowing where it was taken from , just a guess.

Hi Folks.

A few shots I have taken recently, the skylark was real high, the bird fits in a 700x700 pixel square! Really impressive for the 100-400 L II despite being coupled to the reputedly dreadful 7DII.

The buzzard was taken with the 7DII with my EF600mm f/4L IS USM hand held, the crow chasing buzzard was the first shot and is not great but shows the story, they kind of caught me off guard as I came out from under the tree canopy and no time to worry about the monopod I have learned to carry with this monster lens!

I love my gear including the 7DII despite all the recent furore about how bad Canon cameras are when compared to the competition!

Cheers, Graham.

Nice series, Graham. I especially like the last picture.

Graham, the 100-400mm II pairs really well with the 7DII. I have been tempted to buy one but feel as soon as I do Canon will announce a new APS-C.
