    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    It was at a full 200mm plus a crop. It was one of the better ones for sure. Thanks again.

    That bustard was being quite amicable. He was just walking around looking at me and the surroundings, stopping a bit, then slowly moving on. He made it quite easy to photograph.

    Nice series of shots. I like the bustard too, but he doesn't look happy about you calling him that! :):
