LOL, well, sorry, I wouldn't exchange my copy of the 250-600 with a 150-450.

Better have both isn't ? :-) . . .

especially if you have someone willing to carry them for you.

Well... carrying both?
Yes, unless like you say, I have someone else doing that...
I meant it would at least give me a choice before going out...

This seagull's legs are wrapped in fishing line attached to a fishing hook in it's wing, but It could still fly.

Reminds me of a song from Bad Company from the 70's......

Came across this guy sitting on a post along the side of the road.

A Badger, don't see those . . . . ever! Look forward to you getting some shots of it in the daylight.
