Michael - look at Art Morris's site "Birds As Art"
http://www.birdsasart.com/accs.html - I bought mine some years ago and have
found it very useful - especially for eye catchlights & infill. You have to be
careful with wind and the fitting onto the front of the flash unit etc but
generally it works well.
I can't remember where I bought it from but it was most likely through Art. He
has lots of other goodies as well. I have not yet, but you might want to check
if they are compatible with the later Nikon SB series (-800 etc) - I'd
appreciate a copy of any advice on that issue.
Cheers.
