You are right Yves, adjusting the speed and anticipating the movement is a skill that requires some practice. I have yet to master changing settings on the fly. You will no doubt be a pro at it one day this summer. Very nice composition, colour and action.
Glad I am not the only one to get that skill. So let's keep on practicing and enjoy what we have done so far.
You caught some action here and it looks like the adult kingbird still has an eye on you. Sounds like you got off lucky, Yves, since they're great defenders of the nest. Nice shot with an interesting story too.
Thank you Heather. So far the reaction was to fly away. I was surprise that they confront me at close range. I guess you are right, I was lucky.
