If the technique is good the lens usually does its part.

Fun shot of the osprey peering down at you; they have such a piercing stare :)

Neat you got the kingfisher; they are so hard to photograph!

On the great egret: if you find yourself photographing white birds against very dark backgrounds, set exposure to darker (exposure compensation to -1 (or sometimes just - 2/3 will do it) if on aperture or shutter priority, or Program mode). That will give you more detail in the feathers.

thank you , will do next time , i use aperture priority , exposure comp at zero , with in the menu set at f11 for non normal lens , in matrix .center or spot do not give right exposure . the lens is a preset stop , it start at f8 to f32 .due to the darkness spec of this lens , in sun light you use f8 , f11 and at time f16 . this was just to prove that you can have fun for $ 125 new . this is a good way to start bird shots , before you move to the big gun .
