Red breast, tits and a blackbird

Even though it was raining cats and dogs I still had a few birds in the garden.

Taken with D300 and Sigma 120-300 with a 2x TC at ISO800 to help combat the low light.

Nice work there!

I've got my first serious workout of my 120-300 this weekend so fingers crossed!

Nice shots, really like the bluetit ones. Must consider getting a 1.4 or 2x tc myself, seeing as your shots have come out well using one.

Same here re the Bluetits.

I picked up a 1.7 TC a couple of weeks back but haven't tried it yet.
I put it way and forgot about it until I saw these.
