Fantastic series Socrate!

They certainly do look tired, did you keep them up to slow them down?

All look very good, Socrate.
Great job on the IF's. Sounds very difficult to pull off.

Socrate- I don't think I've ever seen photos of these birds.
So that makes these the best I've ever seen .
Silliness aside, I doubt I'll ever see better ones- unless they come from you. These are remarkable images of what I assume is a primarily nocturnal bird.

A super set all the way around Socrate. Great shots of a very difficult subject. I saw 2 50+ years ago and thought they were neat then ~ Ron

I've never seen anything like thse images. Just incredible work you did on these! I love the perched shots, and the IF shots are super cool. Really top notch!

Remarkable skill to get those IF's Socrate :appause:
I really enjoyed your first set of this rare to see bird but this series tops it
Beautiful perched shots with interesting perches and the BG for 1 and 4 is stunning

Excellent work Sir!

Wow these are great Socrate. Amazing that you got the IF's. I thought these were mostly nocturnal birds? The first is my favourite.

Rob





Thank you, Rob. Yes, they are nocturnal birds, but for some reason the male was flying around, probably as part of its courtship

I'll have to say my jaw dropped and a big smile took over when I saw these Socrate. This is like getting to see a bird that I know exists that I have always wanted to get to actually see in the real world. I'm going to be most content to simply enjoy your success and admire the incredible set you have here.........I think Mike's opening words sum it up for me too, 'some of the best' my friend, well seen and the IF's blow me away!

Awesome !
Karl






Hi Karl! Nice to hear from you. Thanks for your kind and appreciated comments

Wow, some really great shots. I hardly ever saw these guys during the daylight hours. And like you said, they don't fly straight for very long. . Very impressive!

Steve





Thank you for dropping by and commenting, Steve I hardly see these birds during the daylight hours as well. But I was very happy to see one flying over me
