Description

A visiting flock in for a drink...
Nikon 80-400 @ 185mm, ISO 800, 1/200sec @ f/10. Simplify filter and curves adjustments in CS3.
This was the shot, no cut and pasting of birds was done...being ready and patience paid off.

Love how you captured so many in one shot. Patience really does pay off. A large lens helps too..... #1087726
