Nice detail Mike but your Tern looks like a Black-headed gull
Thanks BobVery nice....
Great shot Les - just a random question if I may: I see you're shooting with A7R3 and 200-600, do you shot on crop mode or full frame then crop in later? I've an A7R2 and I have been vaguely pondering the 200-600 if I ever start taking it a bit more seriously and ditch my RX10iv. Cheers, Mike.Garden Blue tit - yesterday ( 11th)

Thanks a lot Les - yes that helps! My dilemma is whether I would get the use out of ‘proper’ birding kit rather than just throwing my RX10 over my shoulder as I do now. The results from both 200-600 and 100-400 look fantastic which is the big appeal but they are both obviously a lot bigger and heavier. I am due to retire next year so maybe at that point I will treat myselfHi Mike - Not a random question at all fella, happy to answer - I shoot with both a Sony a7Riii and now I have the Sony a7Riv as well - I shoot full frame allowing lots of option to crop those long reach shots - the Sony 200-600mm is an excellent lens for either crop or full frame modes, personally I don't use the crop mode in camera-much prefer to use my Sony 1.4 x teleconverter
I would recommend this lens to any Sony shooter
I also have the Sony 100-400mm G lens- the IQ on this is amazing - I use this lens for larger dragonflies - butterflies etc Using the 1.4TC

Sound advice , thanksGo on Mike.......you know you want to! - I retired a long time ago and the weight of my kit has continued to increase ever since!

A little difficult from this image but I don't think it's a dunnock, possibly it could be a female siskin.?Sorry about the quality of the pic taken through glass on my phone, but can somebody Id this bird please. I think it's a dunnock but wanted clarification.View attachment 309104
