ACTION at SBG

joeyao · 15th January 2005

The approach...

The dive...

Lift off...

Up, up and away...

"Well, I am ready for the dive event of the bird olympics."

No shooting skill involved. Its the camera. I just any how aim and hantam and hope for the best. The bee-eater is very fast in flight.

20D · 16th January 2005

Great shots!!

Caussway · 16th January 2005

Nice capture of the action. I didn't know bee eater also eats fish

eel · 17th January 2005

Wah good captures. So far, my experience watching Bee-eaters is that they fly really fast and seem to have an erratic flight pattern so kudos to you for being able to follow them.

skfoo · 17th January 2005

Good reflexes and capture!

joeyao · 17th January 2005

Thanks 20D, Caussway, eel & skfoo for your kind compliments.
