These are wonderful shots of this bird Socrate, absolute stunners!

1 and 6 are my pick but they are all winners.

I don't think I've ever seen in flight shots of this species before.

Paul.








Thank you, Paul. I appreciate the words

Excellent Socrate. Would love to be this close to this interesting and unusual bird but I have no idea where to look. I see them in the sky at dusk but they are so far away that I just watch them. These images are outstanding.

Fantastic series Socrate!

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

Mike





Thanks Mike. They usually sleep during the day, but the male looked very exited

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





Thank you Chris. They are crepuscular/nocturnal birds and it is rare to see then flying during the daylight.

I used to see these all of the time as a kid (40 years ago) I think I've seen 5 since then.
Pretty sad. Nice images

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.
Charlie




Thanks for the kind words, Charlie. Very interesting birds indeed. They have been erroneously accused to suck on goats, so another name for these birds is "Goatsuckers"

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





Thank you, Ron.

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!
