What a beautiful bird and very sharp photos. Well done. This is a new bird for me.

Wow. Sharp photos. Great. Another shot of LBA. I just bought a BIGMA too.

Thanks Susan .Today was the first time that I had seen one.

Lauren.I think you need to rush out and buy a Sigma 500mm f4.5 EX DG

**LaurenOE** · 06-06-2012, 01:59 PM

I probably might.

I'd need to sell my Bigma first.

Now that I think about it...the more Pentax holds off on either the FF or the 560mm, the better chances of me getting the Sigma 500mm f4.5 are!

I had a sigma 150-500mm for a while.
I think the Sigma 500mm f4.5 EX DG is a completely different animal altogether.

I tend to agree now that I see what it delivers.

Cheers charlie.
I went out this morning ,the birds were on the road salt pile but it was raining.
I went back later on in the afternoon and caught a bit of sun which gave me a decent shutter speed [so no need to use the flash]
Here are a couple more.
