A lucky shot with two geese taking off. I have a preprogrammed user setting for these opporunities under my camera dial C3. It is set to ISO3500 and AI servo drive, +0.5 stop overexposure, shoot at high speed. So when these birds passed I switch all the camera settings by turning the dial to C3 and I am ready. Flip one more switch on the 300mm lens for panning and shoot! The camera selected F14 at 1/1000 s to freeze frame the geese. And to my surprise one is tagged: PRY. Enjoy!

Wow from me as well, Paul. To be able to catch the band on the birds neck you must have a hell of a camera. Great shot.

I've never seen a bird with a neck tag before, & I'm not sure I like it, you've captured their flight perfectly Paul. (o:
