Thanks, Brian. These guys are very territorial. Once you see it, chances are you would see it at the same place all the times :) Hope you will spot one soon ;)

Thanks Mike! This guy eat all the times. When these guys are eating, they normally stay there for a while unless you make a drastic movement in front of them.;) ;)

Thanks John! This lens does require a bit of practice. Once you get used to it, it's not that difficult to use. The only thing bothered me when I first got this lens was the minimal focusing distance beyond 1x life size. I think this lens is worth the money ;) Thanks again!
