canon eos 10d, Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L @ 250mm
iso 400, aperture 6.3, shutter speed 1/4000s

(shutter speed high because i was tired of switching between 100 and 400 iso to get high shutter speed (sun was playing hide and seek with clouds) so i decided to leave it at 400)

Nice action shot with the baggage he is carring home to the nest. Good detail also in the wings, especially underneath. Welll done I'd say!

Gigo you starting to warm up to flying birds :) :)

Excellent bg, great wing position, very sharp, curled primaries and carrying building material.... Ahhhh life is good!!!!!

About the only way to improve the image is with fill flash!!!! any more exp and the bird's head would have been cooked. Exp seems perfect

Congratulations!!!!!!!
