Another set of wonderful shots. I have become a fan of yours...
Two thumbs up.
Just curious, how far were you from the bird?

Thanks for the compliment. I'm about 8 to 10 meters away.

Fantastic shots! Did you actually use flash? What lens were you using?

Due to the low light condition, yes we use flash. However my flash was at -3ev. At ISO 400, shutter speed is only about 1/20s to 1/40s. I'm using canon 500mm f4.5 (non IS) with 1.4x TC.
