This shot of a Black-eared Kite was taken two weeks ago at MPNR. Note the small catch, a fish, under its claws!

KK,
Great shot! But I can't see the fish in its claws in my monitor... ???

Henry,
With flash extender you gain about 2 stops. The cut off point is 15 ft ie closest distance you can use. Hence recommend to use with 300mm and up.

For this particular shot, no fill flash was used.

Daniel,
The fish under its claws is quite small but is barely visible nevertheless ... ;D I have another shot which shows better.
