Same 300m F4 AFS & D300 as before, this time with a TC1.7
This was quite low light and I think I used a monopod.

It's interesting to see how many shapes that feathers can come in (e.g. on it's head)

This greenie came back today long enough for me to run upstairs, put the big lens on the camera, run back downstairs and take some portraits.  I think he is trying to look tough :)

Very nice. I think he's looking around, left and right, and once feeling safe he'll be stealing something from your garden  8)

Hah!  He does look rather shifty eyed to me as well.
