I just noticed that I shot the first and last image using the 2X III tele-converter giving an effective focal length of 1600mm. These were shot from the car using a bean bag on the window sill.
Lovely buntings! I've never seen them this time of year, only in the summer, in the high arctic. I love these images and your setup. I have the same, and find it the ultimate small bird camera!
Andy, these are wonderful!!! I am happy to see another person who has found the magic sauce for the 7D2....I don't feel comfortable with it yet but hopefully things will click soon enough.
