K-3 III, HD 150-450, HD 1.4x TC My attempt at Tree Swallows from a couple of weeks ago. There were a number of them zooming around this nest box and they would take turns trying to take ownership as the others would try and run them off. The box seemed a bit large for Tree Swallow nesting to me, but it was entertaining to watch.

I wasn't expecting much from it. I'm at the 'user error' level with this lens more than anything these days. I enjoyed the IQ so much I hunted its baby brother the 75-300mm down and so far it seems just as quality as the bigger lens is.

Chipping sparrow hoping someone will hear it's song. I always enjoy seeing these plump little birds. Pany G9 + Oly 300mmm f4 & Oly 1.4XTC, substantial crop as well - they are very small birds.
