Egrets

Very few other birds around so decided to try out the 1.4 TC on the 500 PF f/5.6 so 700mm f/8. All shots at f/9.

Focus seems reasonably quick and a minor reduction in sharpness.

Nice. I have never seen a Plumed Egret, nor Cattle Egret in breeding plumage.

Well caught...

Thanks Mark. Easy to photograph as they nest in groups and there are birds constantly coming and going.

Thanks Phil. I had some trouble controlling the whites on some of these.
