I know you know how to do this.
Get up.


I'm awful at birds shots, but it is fun. Touching on what was already said, if you can't get long, show them doing something or the environment. All I had was a 70-200 lens.

The rule I seem to have figured out: If you are miserable you're going to get some good shots. Birds don't usually like to sit in your backyard in the middle of the afternoon and do interesting things (though it happens).

The autofocus is probably down to the body. That’s a pretty modern lens that shouldn’t have that issue, however I’m not intimately familiar with it

Spotted Sandpiper




Ring-billed Gull (i think)




Juvenile Bald Eagle




Common Loon




And just a shout out to DxO Photolab. Constantly blown away by its lens profiles. the sony 200-600 does NOT produce images this sharp out of the camera.
