      Perfect angle, exposure (on a very difficult bird) and overall IQ!

      You have done enough in avian now, go play with your macro friends

      Your first Avain stuff is truly impressive Mark!

      Excellent action captured Mark. Super sharp and very good exposed.
      I think you are doing excellent with the current gear (body). No need to upgrade
