For amature photographer like me, i wish to give some tips. :)
if you want to shoot birds. you really need a longer focal lens. i used tamron 150~600mm. and it did save me time and effort. Not bec. you got a longer focal means you can get good shot even if the bird is maybe 30 meters. it depends if the bird is big or small. Best is to get closer.
Seems like you were lucky to get some amazing shots from these birds :)
thank you. yes. i do get lucky with my shots :)
