BIRD IN FLIGHT ONLY -- share your BIF photos here

Very nice...guess you weren't joking about all the eagles around you. You got eagles like I got seagulls...:confused:
Lucky you! Where I'm living the news for some seagulls around are spreading like fire and all birders are running there. Forget the eagles! And I'm living on island in the middle of the Pacific:mad:!

A couple of osprey from last weekend. Not too many of these guys around any more, wish I could follow them to South America for the winter. :) Outings like this make it easier to look at the empty spots in my bag where the 7D2 and 5D4 used to live - I've finally stopped crying over them. hehehe.

A bird hide in one of the nature reserves was open today, subject to the English Covid restrictions. Sitting there with a surgical mask on, as required, and my glasses steamed up, a bird shot past high up, barely visible through the fog. Got a quick shot and on getting home discovered it was a juvenile Peregrine Falcon, a bird I very rarely see in flight. Here it is, upscaled 2x.

A Eurasian Kestrel hovering in the far distance. The image from the 100-400mm II + 1.4xTC on the R5 is so small I have upsized it by 2x. I like the pose so never mind the pixels. Another funny bird flew over.
