@[email protected] there were loads of them darting about. The noise (I'm not going to use the word song) was epic. I could hear it span quite a distance in all directions

The Great White one of the largest members of the heron family—about the size of a Grey Heron—with dazzling white plumage, a long, sinuous neck, and a dagger-like yellow bill that turns darker during breeding season. Its black legs and feet help distinguish it from the smaller Little Egret, which has yellow feet.

@[email protected] he wasn't that happy. Had been continuously mobbed by Black headed gulls for ages.

@[email protected] flighty, but have to stop for lunch sometimes :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

@[email protected] yeah. Makes sense. I loved the 400mm, and would have happily kept it, but I wanted more reach and couldn't afford to keep both .

I've been shooting in bad light forever. [Comes with living in the the UK, and a love for woodland birds 🐦] so am fairly confident with handling poor light at narrower appatures..

@[email protected] do you use a 1.4 tele convertor with the 400?. If you do, it makes the 400 basically the same weight and size of the 600... it really is practically the same. The biggest drawback in my opinion is the auto focus is not as strong as the 400"s , but the opportunities are more frequent with the 600

@[email protected] traded up my 400 for 600, but i though the minimum focal length of the 600 (4 metres) would be an issue, but it turns out it is okay :)

@[email protected] the same as for birds. I travel light, so just the one lens. [z 600pf]

 

so happy today to see so many insects in particular, Butterflies and Dragonflies. Hopefully we will see a recovery this year as last year numbers were poor

@[email protected] thanks. Wasn't sure id still be able to take the small bugs with the new lens as its got a minimum distance of just over 4 metres, but the photo came out relatively well

@[email protected] All birds are my friends...I'd hope they would think the same of me 😂

@[email protected] it was just taking a break from trying to steal eggs from a bunch of nesting Black-headed gulls....
