Scramble

By KingArthur
I bagged this pair recently in low evening light as they scrambled straight towards me. From experience, this is one of the toughest shots to nail when birds in flight head low straight towards you.

It really tests the camera and lens AF performance as it does your skills and reflexes. Was pretty much satisfied with the end result.

Well done Joe, lovely shot, proves your reflexes are fine.
Like the effect of the second bird just on the edge focus.

Stay safe, Will.Grin
