Re: Great Egret Flight

Excellent work Stan, at a FL of only 98mm you must have been fairly close which makes it more difficult to pan.

I was quite close for static shots when he suddenly took to the air

A great flight shot with perfect wing position. It's a pity about the background with the shoreline cutting through the bird.

I also have a few with clear sky backgrounds but liked this one as it was a bit different
