Taking off

I was glad he finally took off. I like to photograph birds when they are actually doing something rather than sitting and looking around. I had to wait a long time for him to go.

 

This 800mm lens is lightweight and not very big, especially compared to my 600mm and 500mm that is. The biggest drawback is the fixed f11.

 

I haven't had a chance to try it on a day with good light. This is cropped some. Not a ton but a little bit
