First time photographing some Hummingbirds this year. It was pretty exciting for me since last year I was only using a 70-200 on the 5d and that was not enough reach.

5D3 Sigma 150-600C

Very nice shots. I really lie t the 3rd one. Well done.

A couple of yellowhammers on the way back home. One was on the ground eating a snail, the other was fortunately on a bush. Sigma 150-600mm C + 5DS R @ 600mm

Kerry, I love beeeaters. We don't have them in the UK and it's a real treat when see them abroad. Lovely photos!

Thanks Alan, Click and Serendipidy.

Great looking ducks Serendipidy.

Few more from a session in the garden with young Blue Tits. Canon 7Dii and 100-400ii lens. So pleased with this combination. Does everything asked of them.

Very nice shots Kerry. A great camera + lens combo. I have it and use the 1.4x TC III. A little more difficulty with focus in dark areas, a little slower AF and a slight loss of IQ but a very good combo. I would suggest getting the Canon TC if you need a little extra reach.
