One of my favourite motives is birds in flght. Therefore it is nearby for me to start a thread, where everyone can show their BIF photos. And the start goes now:
Many thanks, but I am no World champion. Two days ago I was chasing a couple of Western Marsh Harrier. After some time and several shots I got aware that I have placed the exposure compensation on the darker scale instead of the lighter.
She is a pretty bird! I was out bird watching that day. Caught her coming in for a landing, but since her feet had not touched the ground yet, I figured it still qualified as a BIF.
I'm not sure what kind of bird this is, I wondered if it was some sort of swallow, but I highly doubt it because this was taken in south central Alaska. However, I have dubbed it to be a flying Orca bird! Lol!

That is interesting. Somehow a little expressionism.

I have loads of BIF shots! It's the best way to shoot a bird!

Last 2 shots are killers!
Many thanks.
Thanks for posting. Let us see some more.

Thanks for a fine contribution. The yellow eyes of the owl are great in all the white.
Weatern Marsh Harrier - Female

Much better than with a gun!

I like all three but the kestrel is just spectacular!

Fantastic photos Jørgen. I know how difficult it is to catch a BIF, you've got it done to a science!

Landing gear down

Great capture of the male Mallard
Actually I think you mean female, that's a hen not a drake.

You are perfectly right
I'm pretty sure you know your birds better than I do!

She definitely is a BIF.
