Little Robin

A little Robin I saw at WWT Martin Mere on Sunday.

Well, it looks like a nice fluffy little robin and well framed, Geoff

I wonder if the robin photos are of the same one who flies around the country posing when it sees someone with a camers

Lovely Rye, nice capture, he looks fluffed up against the cold.

Very nice detailed image........

Thanks everyone. He wasn't just posing for me, there were 3 other people much closer taking pictures on their phones. I had to stand further back as I was using the Sigma 150-600mm, this was at 500mm, f7.1, iso400, 1/30th - I was resting the lens on a fence post.

Now that is a very nice shot you've taken there Rye... Fence posts come in very handy don't they ... Especially if you find one strategically  positioned...   It's a good lens that one ...  You seem to get the best out of it  too .

I have had my eye on the Sigma for a while now, my main interest being wildlife and from all the reviews I have seen it is highly rated. Trouble is I don't think it is available for Sony yet but apparently it is going to be released in Sony fit in the near future. I have also been considering the Tamron 150-600, it is quite a bit a lighter but from the comparisons I,ve seen its maybe not quite as sharp at 600mm but still very very good. 

Sorry Rye I am barging in on your post, apologies..

Lovely detailed shot

It's all pertinent  to the  shot that  Rye took though Ron innit  so don't feel too bad .... ... AND as  a Sony   owner I'm interested too...after all it  is one of the reasons  we get together on here ... to compare notes on  our  experiences with a camera... I'll keep an eye open for the Sony  lens like you Ron ...

"Holy -"

Thanks everyone. I've found the Sigma lens to be really good, it's only the Contemporary Version not the Sports (C is £800-900, Sports is £1400-1500). It is a big lens (sports is even bigger) and you certainly know you've been carrying after 4 hours, even with the neck strap on both lens and camera. Sigma's website says it weighs just over 4lbs - the Sport version is almost 7lbs. Checked online for a Sony mount - lots of rumours but no definite date as yet.

I keep coming back to this one ...It is one of the best Robins I have seen on here Rye ... Well done ..

Very nice for us over here to see, as we don't get the same Robins. A lovely capture RW.
