A little compilation of a singing male skylark. This is pushing the 2x extender past its comfort zone, but thankfully the bird stayed mostly in one place (although pointing straight up and holding still with this setup has taken a bit of practice! ;) ). 5DIII + 500L II + 2x III (f/10, 1/2500, ISO 2500).

Very nice. I always liked larks, but sometimes they are hard to spot (at least the ones in Europe that I know).

I guess that camera and lens weight was fully resting on your face when you took these? ;)

Thanks. Lol, I had my eye to the viewfinder but most of the weight is taken by my arm, I hold the lens by the tripod foot (I assume everyone does!). I've only ever seen skylarks, but in season, and at certain hotspots, they are common and very approachable :)
