White-bellied sea eagles early morning

I set my alarm for 6 o'clock this morning because I wanted to see if the BOP were feeding or courting early in the morning. It was so cold my eyes were running and my hands were throbbing. I wanted my scarf!
Last night I read the advice from my firends on BIBY and read some articles and parts of the manual and made some changes which have improved my exposure enormously. I set partial metering instead of evaluative, tried 1/3 exposure compensation to start and used aperture priority, then set ISO to get the shutter speed I wanted. I'm happy - I don't feel as if the exposure needs correcting with this lot. The last lot I had adjusted the exposure, so the originals were a lot darker.
I haven't attempted histograms yet - that is a brand new world.

These two seemed to be doing a courtship flight but kept going behind the trees



This one seemed to have something in its beak, unless I can see its tongue



This shows one underwing and one top wing. None of my guides show the top of the wings stretched out, but that is sometimes all you see

There were a couple of incredibly fast BOP that really set the miners off and did very rapid flapping. I think they were Australian hobbies
