Hard little buggers to photograph as they want to be here there and everywhere at once.

Kerry - these are the very first pics I have seen from your stable that show a fair bit of noise - like the pics but the noise is distracting.

Great pics Kerry, those little beggars look really mean!

Yes, most of the time, they're difficult to shoot. These were stationary, guarding the nest and the one is fanning air into the nest with his wings.

That's interesting. These are isoo1600, but looking at the NEFs I don't see any appreciable noise. I suspect that you're making reference to the left side of the first shot and that what you're seeing is my lousy post processing....

Here's another shot, same time frame, different processing. No noise reduction.
