These birds are literally the same worldwide. Cute pic

A Goldcrest, the 2nd smallest bird in the UK, and notoriously tricky to photograph as they don't sit still for more than a second. Git a bit lucky with this shot.

Test shots from Sony 100-400 seems super sharp to me, a little dunnock

It was rainy the day I received my a7RV and 200-600 lens so I was glad that yesterday was a much nicer day to get out and test the equipment. I drove to a local nature preserve and saw a few birds out and about.

Song Sparrows were everywhere.


Great Blue Herons are preparing their nests.


I like having the 61mp so I can crop pretty heavily and still get a usable shot of these Wood Ducks way out in the lake.


Still playing around with figuring out best focus options. I was able to get this Golden-Crowned Kinglet among the braches after some patience. They don't stay still for long.


Another heavy crop of a Red-Headed Woodpecker.

The American Tree Sparrow. Not sure why it is “American” since it is rarely seen south of Northern Canada in Summer. Perhaps my neighbors from the North can explain!!!

This little kid-sparrow even came to my coffetable if I haven't put out sunflower seeds on its favorit spot.
