@AlanF. Thanks. Favorite, I typically don't bother shooting them anymore and would rather have some variety but winter in Alberta doesn't provide a lot!
And you with another long lens ...

I have been testing the Tamron 100-400mm on the 5DSR and 5DIV. Unfortunately, the weather has been poor. Here are some shots taken this week at low light with the 5DSR. The iso was 1600 and the shutter speeds 1/160 or 1/200 s at f/6.3 and 400mm, which are not what I would want for very sharp images. The nice thing about the lens is that I can carry it in my hand comfortably without the need for a shoulder strap on hikes, although I have just ordered a wrist strap for safety.

There is local excitement because hawfinches have been seen in a local National Trust property. Two days ago, when testing the Tamron 100-400mm on the 5DIV I came across one high up in a tree. It was too far for a proper shot and the light was poor. All I could get was a couple of 260x260 px shots in the middle of the frame, which whetted my appetite and showed that the Tamron was OK pushed to the limit (top). Yesterday, I went out as the weather was forecast to be sunny but it drizzled with rain. But, I got a larger shot with 400mm+2xTC on the 5DSR, which I couldn't properly rescue PP. This morning, the sun shone and I got a decent shot with 400mm+2xTC on the 5DIV.
These shots aren't meant to be anything more than something to put in my album of a rare visitor. The largest image is less than 600x500 px.
