– it is fun to have 800mm zoom ? I used this new CANON RF200-800mm for months and again the 800mm is really useful sometime while this bird just ~10m from us and I use 800mm zoom to get almost same view like this

– 其实800mm除了拍远远的鸟,还可以把鸟看的近近的。这鸟今天站大概10米,我用了800mm 拍个特写。

– another bird that I rarely photograph beside feeding spot… this as usual a bird capture at feeding spot. It is tame as usual come together with another lovely Kingfisher

– 这鸟应该是我拍最少野拍八色鸫。这一只是喂食点的,与之前一样都很乖啊。
