Interesting bird but 50M is a long way even with 700mm it would be small.The Starlings are about 15M away in above pixs.
It's a very wary and mobile bird. Mike and I stalked it for a good hour and this shot was the best I could get. In fact Mike tells me it's the best shot he's seen posted of this specific bird that's drifted into our area.
It highlights hts the differences between bird watching and bird photography. For the former group, a photo like this is sufficient as a 'record shot'. Mike tends to fall into that category but does aspire to get bigger, closer ....record shots. We on the other hand are photographers extending our subject interest into birds. For us it's more about filling the frame with nice sharp images.
