Nice bunch of B.I.F. shots. You must have been in Spain again?

Good to hear from you, Steve. I must look you up on Vimeo; I can't remember what I had learned about it; I find video image quality elsewhere appears to fall foul of "depression by compression", sometimes.

Locations for BIF's were:

Crete x 2 (Griffon vultures)
Ireland x 3 (Gannets)
Bulgaria x 1 (Golden Eagles)

in that order.

Hello Mat,

All shot with Canon Digital Rebel; lens & settings, as follows:

1. Tamron 200-500 @ 456mm 1/1000 7.1 ISO 200 Tungsten A/F
2. Tamron 200-500 @ 350mm 1/800 7.1 ISO 200 Tungsten A/F
3. Canon 100-400 @ 100mm 1/1000 5.0 ISO 100 Daylight A/F
4. Canon 100-400 @ 260mm 1/1000 5.6 ISO 100 Daylight A/F

You may wonder what I was using Tungsten white balance for in the Cretan sunshine? I mistook the Tungsten symbol for the sunny symbol!!
