The juvenile martial certainly gets a lot of exposure on the forum!

Great shots anne-marie! Could I ask what lens you're using for these shots? Are the birds in KTP quite used to cars and so you can get quite close?

100x400? I take it you mean a 100-400mm lens? Or is this some spotting scope lingo, I know binos and scopes are measured in [number]x[number] but I have no idea if 100x400 makes sense as I don't know what the numbers mean!

100-400 mm lens (zoom)
sorry I don't speak English... and I think 100x400 was enough :redface:

No its ok! It is just that bird watchers use spotting Scopes and I dont know about them so I just wanted to check you didn't mean that
