Hooded Merganser

Thought I'd give the new convertor a try out. Had to up the iso and open to F8 to get a sharp shot as these little fellows changed direction pretty quickly!

Cheers all. Wish I still had hair like that
Not too impressed with the Kenko in anything but strong light. Don't know if anyone else has one of these but I found it leaves things looking a bit flat in average light.
