Welcome, and well done! You've managed to get fairly close on that one with that lens.

There I was, sitting in my hide in my garden with 840 mm of telepower, all set and ready for small garden birds. What do you do when a sparrowhawk lands at 5.5 yards (might have been 5.7 yards ;-) ) from you ? You take a portrait !

Marvellous shot, Mario!
Sparrowhawks are not all that big, so as long as they manage to stay a little further away than minimum focusing distance this seem to be a perfect lens + TC combo to shoot them with. Looking forward to what else you might encounter in that garden hide. Keep 'em coming!

Boy some lovely shots recently!!
Similar for me, I wasn't expecting this grand daddy to show up and 420 was too much but it does qualify as a portrait. No flash this time. Yes they really are this red and always amazing to watch, especially flying - I'm trying but this is all I have at the moment.

Hi Mario.
It would appear you made the correct choice, that must have been awesome being that close to such a creature.
Very nice shot, if I took that I would probably stop taking pictures knowing I was never going to be able to better that shot!
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Graham.

Thanks to all who commented on my picture .
Hi Graham,
I must admit that all of a sudden all my previous pictures looked soft compared to this one. The challenge is now to do even better
.
Cheers,
Mario
