Just bought the Nikon 70-200VR lens in HK and brought it to HK Park to try it out

You've got yourself a fantastic piece of equipment there. Keep shooting.

Did you use any TC. How did you managed to get so close ?
Like the 2nd picture, sharp and nice bokeh.
Can anyone ID these birds ?

2nd is sharp? Too bad, not for the eys, the eye is OOF :blah: .

4th, background is too distracting.

Overall, they are good though a bit soft, try USM?

Forgot to mention that I did use TC-14, plus since the birds are in the bird park so some of the pics could get a bit closer.

Anyone can ID the birds?

Thanks for the advice, agree that 2nd pic could be a bit sharper.

For the 4th pic, I actually like the "distracting" background coz it give a sense of the bird being in nature rather than in a bird park.

Hi Johan

The last bird appears to be a highly endangered Bali Mynah.

(dunno about the other birds you shot!)
