@gigiflower @quietpurplehaze @hermann @thistle @nicoleterheide @wendyfrost @pdulis @karlow75 @salza @alia_801 @tonygig @elisasaeter @sailingmusic @gilbertwood @pusspup @shesnapped @cashew @milaniet @deu49097 Thanks for the lovely comments. The new lens is a Sigma which goes from 100 to 500 on the zoom and is fantastic for bird shots. I just have to get used to the size, weight and focusing now

[Ashley]

@flyrobin I've been eyeing those Sigma's! I'll be curious to know how you like it!

[Robyn]

@shesnapped It's tricky size wise so I carry a monopoly to steady my focus. Fantastic detail on distant shots. I am sure I'll be totally in love with it after a few weeks practice

[Tony Guest (snoopybooboo)]

Great colours on this bird, I wish we had these in the UK. Fav.

[Robyn]

@snoopybooboo Thanks Tony. They are a beautiful bird
