Hi Damian, thanks for the video and taking the time to show this wonderful area and all the little birdies..I have that lens and find it to be very good, although it does have limitations but these can be worked around. I was in the UK last year and did some birding in Scotland and was so looking forward to see some of the common birds that inhabit the area, i was getting so excited about seeing birds that are just so prolific over there that people couldnt understand me, but you see, I come from Australia and to me those birds were all new and so exciting, even if they are everywhere. We have wonderful birds down under but just like you, we can walk around for hours trying to find them, especially the little ones. Anyway, thanks again..have subscribed because i like your vibe..
@@damianjohnwildlife I've literally just grabbed myself a tent as I'm planning a few visits to places further afield so these will defo be on the list !!!
Heya! I wouldn't say it's the sharpest lens in the world but I'm not having any images with soft images. Seems to resolve well enough with a 24mp sensor, would be cool to use it with an R5
Great vid bud. I've never seen a redstart. I'm gonna have to do a search and see if there is any in this area. Such a wonderful looking bird.
Thank you! They're really smart looking birds, hopefully you'll be able to come across one soon, good luck!
Stonechat one of my favourites.
One of my favourites too 😊

Redstart was fantastic.
Glad you liked them 😄
Is this lens sharp? m finding softness at 700-800mm focal length.
