huey one year on

hard to believe that a year ago I brought huey home! Back then, he seemed so large, now he is just a big toy that I lug around. I am still to get used to the looks and comments I get. Funny how many people say 'what a big camera you have!"
So to celebrate a wonderful year of bird photography, here are some I took a few days ago, my first birding outing in ages actually.
For those of you who don't know huey, he is my oversized baby, a canon 800mm.

Tina, those are all excellent. The lens is a huge investment but when you get results like that, it has to be worth it

Beautiful set Tina, good to see huey is still doing the business

Wonderful shots Tina, an 800mm is a lot of lens to drag around but it certainly does the business for you.

You certainly do Baby Huey justice, Tina; great shots.

I want a Huey! Lol.excellent.

Huey has served you well, Tina. Excellent images. You might as well keep the celebration going.

Wonderfully done!.... Re the 800- "Dear Santa"

Tina, these are beautiful shots to attest to your new friend's acuity! Do you have a Sherpa guide to help carry it around?

See, just like I said somewhere else: it's a love affair between the two of you and these excellent shots prove it. Wonderful work, Tina.

I wouldnt be able to carry that thing around.
Kudos to you.
And nice shots Tina

Great shots...the third one looks like he is waving! Thanks for the explanation about Huey...I was confused.

Great images of a lovely looking bird well done Tina

thankyou everyone for your lovely comments. It certainly has been a good year for birds, and hopefully 2013 will be too.
Lol Ian, no such luck, I have to lug him myself!
