Winter Visitors.

I first saw these Divers a couple of days ago, looked them up but was unsure, today I was told they are Great Northern Divers, of two birds the expert said one was a youngster. It's the first time I have knowingly ever seen one, shots were taken on the River Plym Estuary.
Today with the K1 and DA* 300 f4 and 1.4 TC, PP'd in Rawtherapee with some sharpening, more than 100% crop as theyy were too far out really. Enjoy;

Nice set with some great detail. I have rarely used my DA*300 with a Tele Convertor and when I have the results have not been great, but you have definitely nailed it! .
