We had a touch of CoRvid 19 last week.

19 Corvids on the back lawn. 

By the time I grabbed the camera there were only a few left. 

Here’s a couple….

a couple of places I frequent are dark woodland pools and I tend to suffer from having to use high i.s.o values in the winter with my main lens a olympus 100-400 f6.3 .. the other day my mate was selling up his nikon gear due to switching to sony and I knew he had a 300mm f4 af-s with a dodgy focus motor ,  I have now bought it complete with a nikon to MFT adaptor . and although manual focus its proving to be a winner couple with the olympus i.b.i.s and good focus peaking im getting some nice sharp shots with it as below . M/F HANDHELD .

There is a lot to be said for using manual focus, rather than letting the camera decide what to focus on and getting it wrong more often than not!

Yes, over the worst of it now but banging my head against the wall waiting to get out.

Really like the picture of the Golden-headed Cisticola.
The weather in Melbourne is my preference for bird watching...... hot.
UK weather is not conducive to me wanting to sit in dark, cold, damp places where you are more likely to get trenchfoot than a decent picture!
