Hi all,
This is my first post on the FM Forums
I'd like to start by sharing these photos... white storks on their way to Africa (photos taken in Portugal)
Gear: Canon 5D, 400mm f/5.6L handheld
C&C are greatly appreciated, thanks!

Welcome to the forum Pedro

Thanks everyone!
In spite of the 1/2 missing wing I prefer #3 too.
Now it's a matter of time before they return, but I'll post some more before spring
Cheers,
Pedro

Like the IF shot w 1/2 wing missing...reminds me of a buddy of ours...who could that be?

A mighty BIG welcome from me too Love the details you captured in the last flight shots.. Wish the wings weren't clipped but understand completely that you can't always fit them fully in the frame.

Ken

Thank you!
Actually, the clipped wing is the result of cropping the original photo.
I got unusual detail on this shot (at least for my standards ) which would otherwise be less noticed...
