Male bearded reedling, Radipole

Radipole R.S.P.B., Weymouth, Dorset

I took delivery of my new Tamron 150-600mm yesterday morning and headed to the bird reserve at Radipole to give it a try.
I have to admit, the light was lovely and the bearded tits were most accommodating, but the new lens was more than up to
the task!

I'm so looking forward to our trip to Extremadura in May when I hope to get some better bee-eater, roller and hoopoe shots!

Excellent shot, Chris. What focal length was this taken at? There have been some reports of the lens being a tad soft at 600mm, but this is very sharp indeed.
