Thanks for a very informative and enticing insight into a beautiful house & gardens ...
You've caught the flowers at their best, it was a great day to visit with soft light ideal for them. The best pictures are the second (for me) with real clarity to the textures on the building, and a nice balanced exposure with the sky held down well, and also 5 & 8 show off those flowers really well against their backgrounds.

An interesting set, even for a 'non birder' ! You have brought us really up close to the creatures and the captures freeze the motion beautifully. Nice clean images with good white tones in the feathers also. Clearly a very good days photography!

Hey, watch it! I haven't quite reached 50 yet.
Or were you referring to the lens ?
Thanks also Derek, yes I rather enjoyed getting some foreground bokeh for a change and the creamy white of the tulips was perfect.

Yes it looks a gem for sure .... Punchy tones, contrasty and smooth as smooth in the background. Some good examples and explanation, thanks David.
I was tempted recently by a Tamron 90mm SP2 with it's 1:1 adapter, all as new and boxed, but at 120 pounds it was too much at present. But for macro the old lenses are never any compromise..

More strong macro work Derek .... The clarity of those little ****s and bu**ers is really impressive !
