This week's motif is SHORT LENS CAPTURES - please post your photos here of wild birds captured with a 300 mm or shorter focal length.
The Sigmonster Tamer again suggested this week's motif.
Posting is voluntary, and if your bird pic doesn't fit the week's motif, you can post these as usual in the Bird Photos section. Only mods can open new motif threads, but all members can post and even guests can view the posts. Multiple posts are allowed too.
Let's post shooting info and standardize our presentation (see format of my first post) so viewers will know how the photo was taken:
Common name (scientific name)
Place and date of capture
Shooting detail.

I'm practically eliminated from this week's motif... I've to dig extra deep into my old files to find a bird captured with 300 mm or less focal length. ;D Yellow-vented Bulbul ( Pycnonotus goiavier), Caliraya, Laguna, April 9, 2004 300D + Tokina 80-400, 300 mm, f/5.6, ISO 400, hand held

Don't have a much of this kind of shot but once in a blue moon it does happen. This is a Great Egret who came out of nowhere and buzzed right infront of me. 1DMKII 100-400 @ 210mm F7.1 1/2000s ISO200 EC=-1/3 RAW Handheld

wow Reyno, amazing! I've seen a few Purple Heron get spooked as I drove by the fields of Candaba. Seeing one burst out right beside you can make you reel back for a split second. The next split second I'm vainly trying to both stop the car and whip out the camera. Obviously to no avail. I'd love to visit Reynoland one day!

Excellent short lens work, Rey and Reyno! Now, where's the wide angle raptor of Ding, and the 100 mm macro birds of Ate Lyds?
