I put a plastic container lid on our deck and filled it with water. Shortly the local robins were lining up to drink {I had four at one time, but no good angle to capture the scene}. I took this photo through the glass door between our living room and the deck.

Nice detail, looks like you were able to get in close.

My word, that it some beautiful photograph. That sharp, shooting through glass. I have the Pentax 55~300mm lens, but it is not WR. So now I have something to complete my XMAS Wish List.

Great job.

Thank you for your comment.

I was about twelve feet from it. I turned off all the indoor lights, so the glass acted like a one-way mirror - I got no reflections on my side, and the birds should have seen nothing but reflections.

Thank you both for your comments.

There is much more detail here than I expected ..... I guess I'll need to explore this method more. This lens has been very good to me, but as soon as I get a more advanced camera, I'll be purchasing the PLM version also. On our nature walk, my wife has commented on the noise made by this one, and I hear the PLM variant focuses faster as well as being quieter.
