Hi guys ,well this morning went to two spots to try and capture my elusive raptors,first place was Wireless hill and the second spot was Bibra lake.
Have to sat i was disappointed in both places Hardly any birds around even though it was early morning,spotted 1 hawk at Bibra lake though he was about half a km away, took the shot with the 300mm lens at full zoom just to show aa that i'm trying. The other bird ,i have no idea of what it is..
photo bucket has changed their system so trying again..

Soakes thanks mate,now tell me how you did it!i tried all photo buckets downloads and they did not work, even though i used the same one as i had done previously.
Hi Raoul
If you look back at your first post, you missed the first square bracket. [
I assume Soakes added it for you.
He beat me to it, I was going to fix it for you.

First bird is a Pardalote. On the East Coast it would be called a Striated Pardalote. Not sure of your birds over there.
Raptor looks like a very pale Whistling Kite, with those split fingertips, but I am not sure. I don't think it is an Osprey - they usually have a bent wing structure, I think.
Cheers

Denis thanks mate,so simple yet it had me completely baffled.
Yes i looked it up later on and i agree with you its a Striated Pardalote, thanks again for pointing my mistake in posting the image.
to me the Raptor looks more like a light morph Little Eagle.

nice find raoul, that raptor will find its way to get close to you for sure hehehe....
when we shoot sometime i'll make your 300 to 600, i'll lend you my 2x tele for that day mate :)
Hey aa! could you please tell me what make and the spec of your 2x tele converter and what you think of it? is it worth buying ? i was thinking of buying one but not sure which one would suit the A300. Thanks mate.
it's the kenko mx-af 2x tele mc7.....
like with the other tele's you need to master the technique on your cam/lens combo....best is try some tele's first before you decide :)
