What a capture, @stevewaycott.bsky.social! The timing on those wings is just perfect. 🕊️ I'm curious: what was the most challenging part of getting this shot in that lighting? I'd love to hear about the process! 😊

Thank you, Tom. The most challenging thing is trying to find and follow the bird as it suddenly flies past. 800mm lens has a very narrow field of view!

They don't take directions, I suppose. I doubt I would have the patience for that. Thanks for sharing!
