Hello
I've been in the eagle hide for two days now and it was amazing. It's not the first time in this hide. I get a chance to test my upgraded lens, Tamron 150-600 G2 with my 6D.

The last day was sunny with a magical sunset as a perfect end of the day.
The lens was good. Much better then the first generation of the lens. The 6D hasn't the best AF for birds in flight but it went well. It's superb on high ISO though :)

Really lousy picture, the only thing that would make it somewhat passable is if I had taken it:)

Beautiful shot!!

Amazing pictures!

Reminds me of the patience needed to get the best shots, unfortunately something I struggle with.
