Agree with you. Interestingly always getting their BIF shots, first time that I'm getting the stationary shot

The first image has the perfect light angle to show off those black feathers. As much detail as it's possible to get for such a subject.

The shag saw me and proceeded to pose - such a beautiful beast - thank you for commenting Walter

More pics with adaptall 65B 400mm f4 + k3-ii. (X-post adaptall thread)
Wagtails at the RSPB gave me a good opportunity to see how my eye is getting in. Mmmm I rather relied on LV actually. These pics showed up the bokeh is actually distinctly busy. F7.1, and with 1.4x tc. But pleased with the detail from these large crops..

and from this 1:1 fullsized crop of a stonechat.

Point 'n shoot at passing flying objects worked better than expected.

I was sat on a bench hoping for a little avian fauna action in vain so took a pic of this erratic on the flank of Conwy Mtn. I rather like the colours and textures! And the 1:1 crop shows the detail realised. Monopod, no tc.

The more I use this lens the more impressed I am with it.
