I know, like me, you're getting a little bored of seeing eclipse photos here and there, but I had to post that one... :o
It's cool to see the kind of radiance that comes out with increased clarity in some photos with a greater exposure.

Become an importer.
They do export to England so they are up for exporting.

We were lucky enough here to be in the totality zone in southern Québec, CANADA, and also have good weather to shoot that event... it was crazy !
This is what the total solar eclipse allows us to see, like the corona and its chromosphere in the red prominences along the limb. The corona temperature is around 2 million degrees!

I know that phenomenon. It's been going on for 30 years, but I thought it started last week.

Splendid name, obviously not from a serious, academically-minded botanist! :lol:

Another Little Wattlebird shot.
This one using the K-3 Mark III and Sigma 18-300.
For those that like to make comparisons between lenses, compare this shot with # 40834 and #40811.
These shots aren't exactly the same conditions, but not too different. If your browser doesn't give you direct access to basic exif data, here it is...
#40834, D-FA 150-450, 1/400s, f/10.0, 310mm, ISO 320
#40811, DA* 300, 1/500s, f/9.0, 300mm, ISO 400
and below, Sigma 18-300, 1/640s, f/6.3, 300mm, ISO 400

You get one bigma, then another one pops up.
The screw drive AF is the big difference with this one, noisy, clunking to and fro. But seems reasonably on it so far. It will take time to get a clear impression/verdict vs the HSM of the other one.
The avocets have been back at Burton Mere for a couple of weeks. I missed the ruddy shelducks, I was creeping around to get a better view through the branches when an egyptian goose took exception and chased them away.
Big ~ 1:1 crops on the avocets.

It's not so bad - often I don't get any worthwhile pics at all. But I do get some exercise, a mental health tonic and see the seasons turning. My first Eastern Phoebe of the year was at the furthest point of the walk and there were Song Sparrows everywhere. My only disappointment is that I got home to see there were five reports of Fox Sparrows in that area and I didn't see one.
