Nice shots.

Which lens did you use for this?

Do you like your 300mm f/4.5 + TC 1.4 combo? Can you post a 100% size chunk of a picture from that combo?

[DOXHOPE]

Cheers Tom..I used the 300mm without the TC for these, hand held, dont own a tripod Im affraid. Ive tried the combo but just a couple of times, will try and get something for you..when the weather gets better, its dull and dreary here at the minute.

Hey, Doxman! The last image was an amazing capture (and I don't use that word). But what else can you call it? Birds with berries in-beak, and one of them in flight. Beautiful shooting!
