That lens is the Sigma 150-500mm. I've always been very happy with it.

Super, love the spray off the tail, and the backlit movement in the wings...

Best

Cracker and great use of the light and water spray. Did you pull the trigger?

My photographs were my only shooting. Though I am quite partial to a bit of pheasant.

Wonderful capture. Was it going up,coming down or just complaining about the wet grass?
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Non of the above. It was engaged in attracting mates. They puff themselves up and give a short burst of very fast and noisy wing flapping. The hen birds look on making their decision, the stakes are high
