Congrats Micky.

Nono... you dont need a 800mm, just the location where the birds are nearer.

Thanks Strobby - no not LP. LP was too far away to get decent shots...

Ya, birding have to have patience - these were from the 2nd morning i was there, the 1st morning's shots were all unacceptable... and was there again on 2 other mornings after that, including today as well! haha... but still missed many other 'action' shots 'cos you can't really tell just when its going to fly off... after siting there sunning for over 40 mins at a stretch sometimes...

PS. and also need birding luck !!! hehe...
