Hi all,

Took the plunge with the next step of bird photography addiction. :)
Could only afford the 400 f5.6 but i'm well impressed with my first trip out.
Light was'nt the best and a bit on the windy side. No excuse's then.

The duck.. iso 320, f7.1, 1/400

Thanks Mitch,
Hope your well.

The Dipper was great to watch, nice to sit and chill by a river with a great bird for company. :)
I can't wait to get out with this lens in some good light.
