Yeah mate but i like getting it correct in camera. I have others from the other camera/lens set up so dont think i will bother adding to it.

I expected a Goshawk but not on the branch that it landed. It used this branch to scope the area before dropping down to the perch i had the 200-500 zoom set up at a out 250mm. I do have the images from the zoom and those have space around the bird but havent processed any of those yet.

Would have liked more headroom and more on the right side.

I didn't anticipate this Goshawk landing as close as it did. I was stuck with a 400f4.5 prime lens on the Z9 and i couldn't swap lenses so its way bigger in the frame than i would have liked. The Zoom lens was pointed at a different perch and to move it would have scared the bird as it hadn't...

Lovely image. Looks like a female with the colouring as the male would be more grey/blue on its back.Maybe just the image but she looks quite small. congrats.

Very nice, cracking birds to get close to.

Z9 with the 400 f4.5 makes a great combo. Juvenile Imperial Eagle. by Mark Molloy, on Flickr

Dont discount the 400f4.5. Superb lens for the money.

Thanks for the info, will give it a read tomorrow.

What are the Z series people using for noise reduction? Im being told that DXO is much better than the Topaz im going just now- what are your thoughts? May download the free trial if its good.

I was caught out with the wrong lens and camera when this female landed so close. I kept it as it shows some feather detail but wish i had a shorter lens on for this one. Mantling by Mark Molloy, on Flickr

A wonderfully large female Goshawk from several weeks ago. A youngish bird in stunning condition, she was definitely the boss. Goshawk by Mark Molloy, on Flickr
