This one was taken with Big Bertha who you will find in albums Even More & Extras. I gave this one a small crop but in my Bits & Bobs album you can see a shot of Mr Robin totally uncropped which gives an idea of how good the 400mm lens is at getting close to the birds in my garden. Another foul day with even more rain but I'm not going to work today as I'm owed lots of time and I'm going to meet my friends for lunch so thought I would upload early.
The friends I'm meeting all worked with me at the NHS when I was Named Nurse for Safeguarding Children for our local PCT as it was then. Jan was the Designated Nurse for Safeguarding Children Bedfordshire so she covered the county and was kind of my boss! We have always got on really well so it's nice to keep in touch as I retired a few months after her. We tend to meet every couple of months
Another fantastic shot. That lens has a great zoom. At least you can get a workout at the same time, it looks like it is a little heavy. I hope your meetup went well. Nurses are very special people, they are the backbone of every hospital, and the hardest working too.
