Not quite in full summer colours yet…

But almost…

Some more shots from the Canon RF 600 f/11.
Struggling a bit with it: the slowish AF and high ISO are a pixel peeper’s nightmare. Small low resolution shots like this are not so bad.
BIFs are hard, at least they’re hard for me.
A soft but interesting enough shot.
A lot of noise reduction and sharpening going on here. Again, at such low resolution and when looked at on a phone they are passable.
The AF is a bit hit and miss and yes the images a tad soft…
But I don’t think I would have been able to get these shots with my 500 f/4 as I wouldn’t have been able o swing it round and focus in time.
So a great value walkaround lens for a very good price (yes I know mine is only on loan).
This male Long-tailed Duck was coming into breeding plumage…
This Sanderling isn’t yet:
I was trying my hardest to get photos of this species. Stejneger’s Scoter, but they never seem to come close.
These were on the sea, not in the port and is a very heavy crop.
