 There is a fairywren harem in my backyard. Old mate has 4 females on the go. They're so small so I had to crop this pretty heavily. Ignore the next door neighbor's roof in the background there.

Why is it whenever you get a new lens the weather goes to poo poo? But here are a couple shots from a Tamron 150-600 + GH4 (with a speedbooster  ).

I wonder what it would be like knowing that you're going to be torn apart and eaten alive in a couple of minutes?

Thanks guys. Fairy wrens are native Australian birds, the male has a harem of females (the grey looking ones) and he only turns blue when its summer or mating season. The chicks stay in his harem until they're old enough to breed, then leave. The males are kicked out when they're mature enough to be his competition. This guy has 7 ladies/chicks/birds in his care at the moment. Mature females have that orange band across their face. And they live in my garden

Oh really? That's so cool. I've noticed the male usually hides more than the females/baby birds, but when a magpie or predator flies by he has a different alarmed call and they all disappear into a bush and stay in silence.

Kenshin posted:I like my Tamron 150-600 but don't love it. I started off that way, but the more I used it the more I got the hang of it. It's not as sharp at 600 though, which is my only complaint. And I also need to get rid of my D600 and grab a D750. Those last 2 shots I posted were taken on a D750 with the 150-600, and the sharpness and blacks completely trump my D600. But,

Kenshin posted:Well, I started out loving it, but the more used to it I get the more issues I find I have with it, and all the complaints I have are (from reviews) not present in the Nikon 200-500. Ah I see, yeah I haven't had any focus issues or anything like that. But you're right it does look like rear end over 500 and 600 with anything over 12 feet away. But from 150-450 its fantastic. It is still a great lens for the price though.

Here are more fairy wrens from my garden. It's out of breeding season so the male is no longer that gnarly blue/aqua colour, but is now instead drab grey. Sorry to keep posting fairy wrens, but I really find them fascinating. It's that harem lifestyle I think

There's been a family of fairy wrens that's lived in my parent's garden for years now. I always try and get some shots whenever I visit.

Couple of shots with my GH5 and Olympus 40-150 f2.8 (with teleconverter). Not bad, still learning the new setup, but so far I'm happy.

Couple rainbow lorikeet shots. They have a tongue like a swimming pool cleaner. Considering that they eat a lot of nectar, it makes sense.  High on sugar water:  Really enjoying this GH5+Olympus 40-150 / teleconverter combo.

He was very happy with himself. There is a never ending battle between the crows and butcher birds on my street, and it's always a highlight to see how aggressive they can be towards each other. So far the crows have been winning.
