Nice set! I like the last two the best. Love the depth in #5 and the fact that you were able to get so close in #4. How did you manage getting that close to the birds?

Great set, love 1 and 5 as context shots.

Aye, I can see how it looks like I borrowed a long ladder!

It was just the lie of the land. All shots were taken with a 100-400 mm lens. I was on the cliff-tops and 1 and 5 were taken distant, left and right (135 mm and 160 mm respectively). However, there were birds just below me, here and there, among the nooks and crannies. Shot 2 was 8.35 m distant, and 3 and 4 were 14.9 m away, all 3 of them taken at 400 mm.
