few late wildlife attempts · 07:51 AM

Since we have been enjoying spells of good weather (for English standards) I have been taking my SMC400 for a spin. Here is couple of those that came out quite well.

Any C&C welcome and appreciated

BR
Peter

Jay

Egyptian goose

Green woodpecker

Jackdaw

Fallow deer

Mistle Thrush (most probably)

A great series. Yes sharp. Looks like you have very productive walks.

Cool photos, that egyptian goose is amazing looking my biggest problem is the very prominent purple fringing on #3

that's the biggest problem of SMC 400/5.6. One needs to be really carefull where to point the lens avoid this ugly phenomenom...

Nice series Peter - some birds I have never seen before or at least different than the ones here. Thanks.

I agree with the comments above, but in general this is great series, special thanks for sharing the Egyptian goose, never seen that before even in pictures!

Hey, Peter - a terrific series. That Egyptian goose is a wierd lookin' dude (or dudette?).

Great job.
