Shot today at noon. Light was super harsh. I got some shots of fledglings on the same branch, but bright sun light burned the settings. I will try to do some miracles with those shots.
I went away and came back 45min later and  Mommy flew from the woods in the back and landed in the tree right in front of me, like I was not even there. It happened so fast I couldn't take the flight shot since I had my settings with the flash set for single shot at slower shutter.
I took few shots of very friendly mommy and went home.

D2HS, 200-500mm f/5.6
1/100, ISO-200, f/5.6, handheld, VR-ON @410mm fill flash -3 just a hint of light.
