    Thank you The Dotterel were up on the moors and the Bluethroat was on the coast at Hartlepool, it was actually on a green bowls green opposite a housing estate, was spotted on the Friday and last sighting was Saturday evening when my photos were taken, loads of reports of people going to seek it on the Sunday but must've moved on.

    Please pardon my ignorance, what are the advantages of a prime lens over a telephoto? TC Prime lenses have better quality glass, tend to be a lot sharper, a lot faster focusing and of a lower F number allowing more light into camera enabling faster shutter speeds in lower light... Zoom lenses adjust the F number throughout the zoom, so you could be at f5.6 at 150mm and then step down to f6.3 at 300mm which means that you'll often have to change ISO/shutter speed... The zoom lens is a "jack of all trades" but the prime is the "master"... The only zoom I would consider for wildli

    Hi mate, I don't photograph captive animals/birds etc I go to a good few bird/wildlife hides and nature reserves to photograph the birds, yes a lot are ringed but there's still plenty that aren't... Often see roe deer, fox and the odd sparrow hawk etc... The barn owl has been there for a few years and is of a nesting pair, they've been in the same barn just 200m off the beach and always put on a fabulous show of quartering/hunting in March/April time... I was photographing 5 short eared owls 10 mins up the coast from my house over Nov/Dec time but due to appalling weather/heavy r

    Can I just say, Anyone thinking of a Tamron or Sigma 150-500 or 150-600 lens, DONT BOTHER... Save your money and get a 300mm or 500mm prime lens... Piss all over zoom lenses

    Can't believe I'm reading this... Get well soon Sean mate Ur meant to start the new year on a positive...

    The difference between the 2 lenses is about £800 with the Sport version being better quality glass and build but worth the extra ??? Probably not... As long as you get a Canon fit then it'll be fine on that body... I recently bought the Tamron 150-600mm for £450 and find it excellent and just as sharp as my canon 300 F4 lens Here's some pics I've taken but you could also go on Flick'r and search for whatever lens you're thinkng of and see photo quality... http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/350426-kestrel-female/
