400mm seems awfully short after being used to 500mm for the last 10 years…
But it is a lot easier carrying around.
Some EF 400 f/5.6L shots

Late Winter Trip 2023 #6
The usual winter gulls were in the ports…
And the usual winter ducks too…
Some more RF600 f/11 shots
It was a bright sunny afternoon….
The lens is taking a bit of getting used to, still not 100% comfortable with getting the right exposure sometimes. A lot of soft shots but a few hits.
And lo-rez pics like this are presentable.
A cold Monday
A cold day in the port. 2 Steller’s around but no decent photos, had to pass time photographing gulls and kites…
A noisy morning
We slept in the car Sunday night so as to be in Oshamanbe early in the morning.
High high ISO here…
Helps if birds are white…
Black, white and grey
A dark, grey snowy Sunday with some common winter birds to match…
A grey Monday in January
A dark mild sleety day east of town today…
I was waiting for the Steller’s to leave its perch and do something interesting. It didn’t…
There were some other birds around. Lots of Goldeneye, the above Slav and various gulls including this Glaucous-winged.
000’s of them
Thousands of kittiwakes east of town today…
None of them had red legs.
Some more gulls
Esan was a bit quiet last weekend.
Both species of eagle were around but no photos.
The fishermen were tossing scraps into the water which the gulls appreciated…
Some rivermouth gulls
There were 8 or 9 gull species at the rivermouth in Yakumo the weekend before last…including lots of kittiwakes.
And the various winter gulls…
