About your question:In the first 3 i have used the Sigma100-300f4EXDG + KenkoPro300 DG 2X(MF of course ).

Thanks for the information Ricardo - pretty impressive sharpness, especially considering 2 X TC. You've done well with MF. I just can't seem to MF.

Frank, that Great Cormorant looks like he's wearing a fur coat!!!

The four little Corellas are posed beautifully.

Speaking of Cormorants:

Some lovely photos on this page. I shall not attempt to compete with the big birds but offer you this little chaffinch perched on the stone wall in our garden.

Frankman, I particularly like your shot of the Cormorant. Simple composition and sharp, but they're all good.

Frank, beautiful pictures and birds.
Regarding corellas: "the gentleman corella on the right seems to have fallen asleep" - it looks to me that he is not paying attention to what the lady has to say. I think he needs a hearing aid.

I don't know what you're talking about. You must be bedeviled, mistaking swans for goats
