I went birding in my hard drive and found photos that i haven't posted here yet. Went birding with Manny one time at Nuvali and had a blast taking photos of these nesting blue tailed bee-eaters. As usual, I am always challenged to take flight shots and here they are... Blue-Tailed Bee-Eater   40D + 400mm f/5.6 ; ISO 320 ; f/8.0 ; 1/400 ; hand held |

Thanks Ed  I never get tired of taking pictures of the bee-eaters because of how marvelous they look with all those colors and their gracefulness in flight. They truly are in my list of favorite birds |

Wow!! Excellent exposures considering these are close to noon time shots, I think? from the shadows. Now, you need to get that new glass some workout.  |

Thanks a lot Paolo, Neon, William and Bobby; Paolo: the underwing should really be the most detailed coz they were flying above us  Neon: Yikes!!!!! I don't even know where to begin when it comes to taking flight shots with the new glass - it's way tooooo heavy.
