Very nice! You have the nephew species with the extra orange-red stripe too?

What is the working distance with this setup?

I have a similar question, relitive to the image posted, Is it cropped or just re-sized, because if it is anything like some of the small warbler like birds in north america, it is only about 50mm (2 inches for the metric impared) and given the presented size represents about a 1:3 or 1:4 magnification.

Except for the exact lens used here

I have the rest of the kit. I need to get out more, with my tamron 200-500/5.6
