The 50D got a workout with the 300 2.8's big brother, the 600 f4 IS + 1.4x...

I was pretty happy to get close to the Red-tailed Black Cockatoo (normally very skittish and difficult to photograph). Here's a few from the outing...

Black Cockatoo - ISO400, 1/500, f8

Black Cockatoo - ISO640, 1/400, f7.1

Black Cockatoo - ISO640, 1/500, f7.1

Though not a bird, here's a "Macro" of a dragonfly

1/200, ISO400, f9

Cheers
William
