Post challenge: Thanks every one that voted & commented on this entry.

I am curious about the birds feathers looking green (as per the comments). The colours were boosted a little but on both my home & work monitors, they still appear yellow as they should.

The plan was to photograph one of the birds in flight and I took a lot of photographs but this one was by far the sharpest.

Here is the original

Nice detail in this shot. Cool to see a different (to me) species.

Yellows are really off on the face and chest. They're almost lime green...

Great focus sharp, nice colors and bokeh, much harder to get but an in flight shot would score much better

Beautiful detail. Is he really that yellow underneath? Almost a greenish yellow on my screen.
