Can your Mom adopt me? I was born in Hong Kong. :)

Congrats, and have a lot of fun!

Bit under $10,000* for a present! I'll be lucky to get a pair of boxer shorts from my mum. :p

Well done, I want this lens for birding too. 200 is way to short and 300 with x1.4 is not as good as the 400 with 1.4 (and a tripod).

You must post some Hong Kong bird pictures. Try one of the eagles/hawks that fly around Hong Kong. I want to see how it goes with those.

*That's HKD...

I have some on my flickr from the last few days. I just got back from birding and I'll have a few up soon - some night herons in flight, chinese bulbuls, and more of this damn kingfisher I've been stalking hopefully.

Hmmm... I have to get my wife to read this thread. She's been asking me about what I want for Christmas :-)

About 30% crop. Not that far away - it was pretty much directly overhead. Chinese University pond - there are SO many bird species there.

One more - chinese bulbul.
