Our local castle is open again after the winter break, so that means falconry displays to me 
I was a bit rusty so I didn't get many keepers today, but here's a shot of a Peregrine Falcon in flight. *casually points out that it's the fastest creature on the planet*

Thanks gents. I don't use this lens as often as I should, shame because it's surprisingly good.

Wow! Birds in flight with a manual focus lens... That requires SKILL!
Great shoot too! I've got this lens too and absolutely love it. Too bad it's such a big hunk of glass. It's the primary reason I rarely use it.

I have highest respect for any sharp manual focus BIF! (seems to be firmly beyond my capabilities)

And beautiful result. |
Thank you very much, glad you like it.

Seriously, very nice shot indeed. TFP. It's the time of the year to get back into it. I gotta get back to practicing! |

Thanks you
Practice is the key word here, without it the muscle-memory falls apart. I need another week or two before I can get back into this properly, warm weather would be helpful too.
