Barrie, all were with my lens. Obviously made a balls up with mounting your lens. Mustn't have had camera turned off and didn't pick up the focal length for shake reduction. I was shooting at 1/160 or thereabouts so shake reduction was needed.
I did turn the camera off when we stacked the TC's and input 800mm as the focal length. Here's the best of them - uncropped. Shown as f5.6

That's better than I was expecting for the stacked combination

"A morning out with Barrie" sounds like a new daytime TV show!

Some of the finest images to be shown on this site. You should be very proud of these shots Alan.

Love the rat in a tree, and the 3D effect from the Robin shot. Exceptional set.

Also, I've heard the very bad joke, "What do you call a rat up a tree?" Answer, "A squirrel". Well actually the answer is still a rat. I've got the evidence.
Apparently, Kingfishers have turned up every day this week but Barrie was there today, so say no more !!
One thing that was a bit special was my first ever sighting of a Green Woodpecker. So, I've included what is nothing more than a record shot.
