Absolutely stella images Roger.  I hesitate to choose but the first just takes it.  Made my day as well.  Superb!  The fine detail is so good.  What camera are you using.  Full frame?

A stunning set of images Roger!  Like John, I would love to know what gear you were using. 

I followed the link to your Flickr page and viewed more images. Then to my horror, I discovered that you were a Workshop Manager for the Royal Mail. I thought I'd got away from all that! ? I was a Royal Mail Technician for 45 years, starting in Lancaster then compulsory transferred to Preston where I became storeman. Thankfully, that's all in the past now!

Hi John , no I use the Canon 7D Mark 2, with the Sigma 150/600 lens ..I find the 7D amazing for  long distance and birds in flight, downside to the 7D is Noise, for that  I use my Canon 6D Mark 2  full frame, noise level is by far better .use that mainly in low light places like Home  from my hide and certain HIdes I visit.But from doing astro imaging for 20plus year I have learnt a lot about processing, which does help a lot when images aren't spot on.

Thanks Roger.  I had the Tamron 150/600 for a while on a Nikon.  I found it so so.  At the time it was said to be comparable with the Sigma but on this evidence, it is streets ahead.  IKt wasn't until I went to Fuji X and there 100/400 (140/560 with the dedicated converter) that I began to see this sort of lens defiinition.  I have been out for months on a dedicated photo outing but these have got me fired up.

I think  you meant to say you  have NOT been out for months on a dedicated Photo outing  John  and that you were now fired up .... .... lol ... I knew what you meant..... I think Roger  often uses  hides when he can ...He did once post a pic of one in his garden  but I cannot find it anywhere... You did say you would post another  for us to see it Roger ....ahem....?
