Todays post is a pair of Jackdaws, I took this when I was testing the new lens with a 1.4 conveter.
The IS function works well. Hand held at 1/100 sec.

The Jackdaws are very curious bird and always looking for food. They are nice and very social bird.
The only problems with these birds are when the evening comes the collect on big flocks when they seeking for place to sleep and they sounds alot.
And some of them build thier nests in chimnies and thats not nice for the house-owner.
More info.

Hi Gert,

Gert, nice shot of two "serious" birds. SIting and have control of all around. Your note about working on photo is very good. My cam. do .jpg and now I know much more abour Raw and think that Raw format is better. Thanks a lot.

Very well done

Hello Gert.
We do not have jackdaws in California, so these birds look very exotic and interesting to me. You captured them so well, with such sharp details and perfect exposure. I like the POV and the composition too. TFS. : )

Bonjour Gert,
Belle prise de vue pour ce portrait double. Superbe qualité de l'image. Pourquoi l'extender 1.4 est-il souvent plus utilisé que le 2 X ? Avez-vous un avis sur ce point ? Bravo pour vos photos. Gérard

Hi Gert

Nicely composed. Good POV showing two of these loevly birds. No nits here. Thanks.

Hi Gert
Nice couple here. Excellent details of the one in front. I like the composition with the dozy looking one behind and the varied branches.
