    very nice bird shot, Dani
    Is this the same bird that was holding one leg up against its body that you posted about a week ago at that "other place?"

    This is a nice sharp clear shot. The focus is perfect on the eye which is critical. Very nice.

    Hey Dani,
    your (SMALL!) bird shots are pretty cool!

    It's just amazing what you can do with the F717+TC!

    Thanks for sharing, and keep up the good work!
    Take care!
