I always use my Sigma 150-600mm lens for birding but mostly use it to get better shots close up rather than trying to shoot birds a long way off.
This little guy was at least 70 meters away so I had a go, hand held at 900mm (D500, 35mm equivalent) cropped as well.
While it's not the best shot, I like it with the dark, natural, background.

Nicely done Ron. It's sharp as a tack.

I have the same lens - and they never look that good from such a distance. Congratulations on your steadiness, Ron 🏆🏆🏆🏆

Thank Joe, my steady hands are a left over from many years of target archery I reckon...hitting a 4" circle from 90 meters requires steady hands...
