Not a major fan of cropping images because i like to see a full framed shot... but for some pics here ive been forced to to get a decent picture.. missed my sunrise shoot down by the water because i accidently slept in.. but still made it for the afternoon session... the birdlife is amazing down there, atleast 5 or 6 species of finch, Pigeons, Doves, Ibis, Plovers, Herron, White Herron, Ducks (species unknown), Wrens, Wagtails, Crows(got a shotgun?) and more... but the pond seems to be producing... and then theres the insect life ontop of that.. If anyone wants to come up and do a shoot, lemme know and we can spend the morning or afternoon chasing critters.... its a good place to sit if you had a bird hide..

Anyways.. pond shots

Another one to add to the list, had 20 of these lil critters bouncing around me while i was taking pictures... being bullied by double bar finches and a small bird that looks exactly like a red-eared firetail finch... which apparently is only found in Western Australia

Thanks for the comments, glad you like them! i sure am loving this lens... and even with 400mm im finding some things it doesnt have enough reach... but damn nice still..

that last one is blurry but the lil bugger was being very flighty and bouncing around.... apparently its a red-eared firetail.. but its still guesswork.. might be something else..
