Basically I didn't use the mask option to select only the Goshawk.

And a few shots of the Braeside wetlands (taken with the Q). All of the above shots except the ibis were taken at the location of the last pano:

SR was on. The shot with the 300 was at 1/125th. Later testing on tripod and monopod confirmed the problem was the lens. I mostly shoot in a very variable environment, even a monopod is a pain.

Some of you may have been wondering why I haven't been spamming the thread with shots using my shiny new 150-450, Well when it arrived it was sick, COVID probably, a little fuzzy - front focusing - beyond the range of fine focus adjustment.

Anyway, it's back from the Doctors and seems healthier. Unfortunately the weather says it needs a few days rest.

Some examples. First is with the DA*300, second is the same shot with the 150-450 (next day but same conditions and framing) third is one of Fujii Sans test shots after calibration:

Nope, DCEXPERT (pentax australia ebay store?) PENTAX HD D-FA 150-450MM F/4.5-5.6 DC AW LENS (21340) 27075286931 | eBay plus ebay 15% off.

I was going to wait for any black friday sales but they would probably be out of stock by then, as usual.

Thanks, she was just at head height. She's been missing (I mean I couldn't find her) for about a week, I only found her this time because I spotted dad and the kids. She disappeared after very strong winds brought some trees down in the area. I was very pleased to see her again.
Last year she had a favourite spot about chest height which was really nice.

That's the Adult Female (CSIRO middle image). The Juvenile (left hand image) says: lacks red in uppertail-coverts; duller supercilium and crown spots than Adult.

Mine has bright white spots, red uppertail-coverts and no yellow throat. It may be an older juvenile male with the missing yellow throat indicating breeding age but it seems nobody knows. It's a bit of a puzzle.

Well, today I got my first juvenile Spotted Pardalote :)

But there's a problem.

In the first shot you will see Dad, white spots and yellow throat (mum/mom would have yellow spots and a beige throat).

Junior has white spots and a beige throat. So is junior a boy or a girl? My books don't tell me, they only mention female juveniles.
