I like them Douglas - I see we share the same birds as friendly neighbours. ;-)
So, what would you advise me to do when you've used all your zoom and doubling power for a shot like this one? Bird was perched about 15 m high and I shot from the 1st floor of a house. :-(

A tip from the other Doug:
Start by choosing big birds that are more likely to walk threateningly towards you than fly away in fright. (yes I know, it would look better with feet)

or creep up on them from behind

Something about it. I can see it framed on a wall. Aram

    This morning, I had a walk to a small river mouth, not too far
    from home.
    I just wanted to try some R lenses with the D3: Cron 50, Macro 100
    and Telyt 180.
    But I found there more life than I thought... and couldn't avoid
to think with the Birdman of Sacramento ;-) Doug, I'll probably never watch wild birds without remember your 
    wonderful pictures...
    and I'm just beginning to realize how difficult it has to be !
