Anybody know what bird this is?
Oystercatcher f5.6 ISO 1400 @ 500mm
Face-to-face f8 1/400 ISO 3600 @ 450mm
Pretty sure that's a turnstone.
Yup, definitely

I love the Rooks. It makes a nice change from birds from hides surrounded by mossy branches and makeshift ponds.

well today ambling along when spotted a heron sitting on the edge of the walkway on the fence just in front of me got such a fright! Anyway had camera in hand so snapped a few however due to the sun shining on him (or her) they are really over exposed on the feathers on the front - the ones I zoomed in aren't quite as bad. (If anyone feels the urge to try and sort one of the full length ones please say and I'll gladly send you the raw file)

A fantastic day out today in the snow. Discovered a new area near my brothers place. Thoroughly enjoyed exploring whilst getting to grips with my new lens. Does anybody know if VR on fast shutter speed can cause what looks like motion blur?
Here's my best ones.

Was shooting at 1/1250 on a buzzard in flight - maybe just not fast enough!! Lots of throw away shots :-( and I think I was overexposing too at +2 stops on the +/- compensation

1/1250 should be okay, the higher the better for BIF though.

That question can be a bit of a can of worms question like the UV filter or not.i tested my Tamron 150-600 with VR on upto 1/4000th and it was ok but i do think it depends on your lens.
The other thing is in a fast moving situation with fast shutter speeds its possible to take your picture before the VR has settled which obviously is not good.
Try to do your own tests.

I didn't even leave the car park for this one. Got a few looks as I was using a speedlight due low light again but beats walking for miles and not getting anything.

Thanks Chris, interestingly called a 'Black-necked Swan' ... I would have thought 'Red Nosed' would be far more appropriate.

That also makes perfect sense to me Roger, but then I'm not a taxonomistinterestingly called a 'Black-necked Swan' ... I would have thought 'Red Nosed' would be far more appropriate.
