Good to see you play catch up. Nice shots.

[TonyQ]

Excellent progress @JimS. Treecreepers are always difficult so you did well there 

[Peter Connan]

Perfect timing on the Swan take-off!

[JimS]

Thanks @michael-ibk@TonyQ@Peter Connan

 

The swan was in a constant battle with the geese. It didn't want them anywhere near the island in the background; they were intent on occupying it.

great additions. 

[JimS]

A few additions to make. I recently sent my 100-400mm lens away to be checked over as I couldn't quite be certain it was as good as it should be. It came back with a report that lens mount and inner lens elements had been replaced. Limited use since its return but I'm happy so far.

A duplicate, but always pleased to get a Red Kite with a bit of light on the underside

Glad to hear you are happier user of 100-400! 

[PeterHG]

I’m glad the leans appears to perform better now. The results certainly look good!

[TonyQ]

Looking good!

[Peter Connan]

Jip, looks like the fix worked! Beautiful shots.

Thanks @xelas @Peter Connan @PeterHG @TonyQ, now I have no excuses, I just need to get out and take more pictures. We’ve a trip to Cornwall at the end of May, then South Luangwa at the end of June, so I hope to see my numbers increase a lot before long.
