Show your Bird Portraits

A bird I have been after for years - so common and yet so skittish - the (European) goldfinch! Pleased with this :)

1000mm, f/10.

A fine photo. Am I correct in assuming that you shot this with your 500 f/4 L plus x2 II TC ? Is this result typical of how this combination performs usually? Which of your bodies did you use? Thanks.

Thanks :) Yes, 500L II + 2x II (I'm not sure why I had that mounted when I just got the 2x III, I only realised the difference afterwards). 5D III. Stopped down to f/10 it gives good results I would say, although this shot was in good light and the bird was quite close (maybe 5 metres away).
