Re: Sunny Sandpipers
wonderful, Ron.
I can see some nice purplish colours amongst the greys. Not a bird I have ever been close too. Well worth the trip out.

Re: Sigma 150-600 mm adapted for MFT???
Just for completeness I put the lens on the EM5mk2 and used a monopod to keep the iso down to 640 (1/40 at f8 ...as it is still not very bright today...). This is SAF which is slow on the EM5 but...

Re: Little Grebe in the Sunshine
Very nice. The low sunshine helps to pick out all of the details and gives it a wonderful colour. I usually see them from a hide at full telephoto, so I know what you mean! :)

Re: Communal Bird Photography Thread
Ron never seen the underwing on a curlew before. Really bright, jazzy and makes the image. Always seen them as dull before, nice to see the reality. (and agree with Mark - the Harrier is OK too ;)

Re: Barn Owl in Evening Light
Lovely, evocative images Ron. It is a delight to be suddenly in their presence and it passes so quickly. Good that you can now get images to remember and be proud of as well.
