 The lighting was not good on this day, so I wasn't very happy with results, having to bump up the ISO and withstand the gale that was blowing. (At least the high shutter speed masked that!)

I am however coming to the realisation that with distant birds even 800mm isn't sufficient...and perhaps even undesirable! I still couldn't fill the frame meaning cropping was necessary which given the poor lighting and howling gale meant high ISO...not the best recipe when cropping required.

Although the forum software has softened these images, I am not impressed with the sharpness, even on my screen. It could be operator error or unfamiliarity with the Fuji or a combination of the degrading factors mentioned above. But I have to say my patience is running out with the mirrorless Fuji for this type of application.
