G'day all, I popped out for a quick shoot just after work in ideal lighting conditions. The RBEs were feeding aggressively and provided some great photo opportunities for me... unfortunately for my shooting buddy he left his CF cards at home! lol   Here's one of the keepers: 40D, 100-400L, f6.3, 1/160th, ISO400 Thanks for looking, William |

A keeper indeed William!! Nice BG that brings out the bird's color.
It would be nice to meet you when I'm set free but I'm passing by Broome this time not Darwin. Anyway, maybe I still get a chance in the future.
