Magpie, Minsmere, Suffolk - March 2008
An early trial with the then new Canon 1D MkIII camera. This bird is at ISO1000
During the summer months many Starlings came to the garden, with many juveniles, so I attempted to pout the 1D MkIII to the test to see if I could get any flight shots. A little practice and I think they will all be pin sharp.
