Yes indoors Kestrel all three done in Pete's studio and his electronic flash is slightly warmer than my older kit and my setting were for my Elinchrom and there was no time to reset my camera as the birds are bought in for a very limitedf time and we had to work fast. No problem have adjusted the NEFs now but I pulled these JPGs off quickly to share them with you all.

Against all my acquired knowledge and common sense, when birding friend Mike said there was a Gt Grey Shrike 15min drive away, I agreed to accompany him. He's trying to get see over 250 local birds this year (having seen 230 last year) so it was a case of b@gger the 45mph gale and torrential rain. [Aside: Ive never understood the logic in classifying rain showers ....they are ALL 'heavy' showers...or it wouldn't come down 😆 ]. Of course gales mean the rain in Norfolk hits you horizontally. Still it gave the camera a good wash! It was so windy we actually watched the GGShrike hovering like a Kestrel....something we had never seen before...  The days photos were not very good given conditions, subject distance, bird size and skittiness. But they were a decent enough record shots for Mike.  The poor bird was as disheveled as we were .... and we only got out of the car for 10mins. A Red Kite cruised past .....  Nothing to write home about, but at least it got us out and rearranged our hair.

Sounds like just the weather for a beach holiday! I think you did well to get the Great Grey Shrike. The Red kite is good as well. ISO 128000 for UK

My 15 year old grandson Oli was in the studio with me last week and used a DSLR for the first time (My D500 with 18-140mm AF-S Lens) I set the camera up for him and like me he was hand holding and got plenty of good pictures of the very active Tawny Owl. Quality as good as my D850 pix as posted above!
