Some type of Warbler: Sedge, Willow, Chiffchaff?

Nice set of images, by the way how do you rate the K3iii Auto Focus.

Cheers

Thanks Mike,

Hooked to the 150 - 450, very good, I do use bbf, both Swan shots were with very little notice and the lens locked on perfectly and accurately.

Thanks Chris,

What does 'bbf' mean?

Something Something Focus?

A lovely set of lovely birds . The spoonbill is a bit exotic, perfect for brightening up a wet and miserable British spring!

Agreed. Hard to distinguish from a shot like that. Colour of legs suggests Willow Warbler, the Chiffchaff has black legs. What we really need, Chris, is its song - can you whistle a few notes for us, please?

Mike - bbf is the standard abbreviation for back-button focus. Is that what you meant, Chris?
