Mpoole; Bokeh is kinda nasty. Are you using some filters?
I mean uv-filter with my 300/4 absolutely ruined bokeh, quite similar way as in your swan pic.

Onegreatcity - your bbq pics are making me hungry!
Petkal - I see that you're still making great use of that 800 despite the 600 II
mpoole - I have had pretty good luck getting close while on the water. Suprising they won't let you get in distance with 400mm. You could try bread baiting

Peter -- You, and your duck divas! I don't know how you do it. Great shots!
Thank you Jim.
It's mostly luck. I dial in 12 FPS and let it rip.
With the Black capped night heron shot below I ran into problems. The bird was way too far for a decent shot + it wasn't well lit....the sun behind clouds.
All in all, at best it's a largelly cropped environmental shot.
Handheld 1DX + 800L + (1.4xTC III for the heron shot).

Peter is it me or have your images gained more sparkle since you moved to the 1DX? Skill is the main factor of course, but you must be getting more keepers to choose from. Beautiful series!
Thank you, Mike. The bigest help 1DX has rendered is its ISO capability. Which simply means that I can shoot now with better exposure parameters......more depth of field, higher shutter speed....that's the big one.

I feel like a skunk at a garden party, posting shots of flying snow amidst the colourful splendour of spring. Regardless, here are two more from the continuing dichotomous series: Spring in Manitoba...
If these flowers weren't dead already, they would be from the onslaught on snow!
The ice is retreating, at an appropriately glacial pace. My daughter's flip flops emerged from a winter outside...
