But the effort is worth it. Very up close and personal. Well done Toto. Mabuhay.

Thanks sir Ely. The 2 pound "rice" bag, despite hurting my ankles, really helped during sorties. It stabilizes my rig fast so I get less shake when shooting

I like the ZC. I wonder what the dark background is. It managed to isolate the bird and the perch as well.

And thanks for the rice bag tip. Pareho pa tayo nang kulay. I would probably just change it as the nylon material on the one I use could damage the lens' finish.
