Great looking shots. Actually amazing, since I know the lighting condition you were shooting under. You and that 200-400 VR is a lethal combination. And to think that all of this was achieved at speeds of 1/30-1/40s handheld! A good number of my shots ended up as throw-aways. simply awsome!

Ken - thanks! that meant a lot, especially when it comes from a veteran! Hope you got some keepers.

Thang, Thought some here might want to see what a Weaver nest looks like. This is a Social Weaver but they all make nest like this. Very intricate weaving done with their bill and pretty fast at building the nest.

Hi Thang,

thanks for the update on the little guy. Lovely shots to say the least.

Thang, do you ever use the 200-400VR with a TC? If you do -- -how does it preform? I need to get a better longer lens. I will have to buy used as I can't afford new. I'm choosing in between 200-400VR & the 500mm f/4 AF-S...

Tell me your opinion....
