Impressive shots Peter!

Visited the local lake again and we saw two sea eagles and lots of other birds - shot with 70-200mm so unsurprisingly, it's heavily cropped:

Elsa I will have to try it out first to see how it compares with a 300 with 1.7TC, if it does not give more contrast and sharpness I would only gain a zoom function and some more hardware to pack 😊
