A lot of interesting things going on here Sandy and you captured them well. Nice pose of the incoming bird and the quail are quite intriguing on their own. The stump makes a great and unique piece for the birds to perch. Well done.

Great timing on the landing pose, Sandy with fine detail in the pyrrhuloxia. Good look at the quail as well and an interesting perch. Nice OOF background.

Dennis - a good example of bursts! :slight_smile:

I almost mentioned 30 frames a second, but I doubt that camera was quite that fast.

No, more like 12, as I recall!
