Incredible shots !
I also find it interesting that these birds have been ringed.

Brilliant pictures, as always.
Strange how the pretty birds all seem to be married. (rings on).

Excellent stuff! I was wondering about turning off my SR, but its so awkward to do on the K5 compared to my K20d!

Haven't had a camera with a physical SR switch. I find no issue with switching it off. Just press the info button and select on or off

On K5, if IS was the last thing accessed on the info pane, you can press info then scroll the aperture wheel one click, then shoot your next picture. It goes straight out of the info pane as you press shutter button to focus this next shot. Very fast change. The wheel changes whatever is highlighted.

I must try with SR off. Only done that on a tripod with delay, but my tripod isn't up to it. Mmmm, food for thought........
Great shots, by the way.

Cracking set Alan the DA 300mm certainly produces the goods one I will consider for the future.

I was in a hide this morning, so I was happy to drop the shutter speed a little to 1/200 and still leave the SR switched off, knowing I was resting on a ledge.
These were all taken with the K5.
