It was a cool winters morning with a few showers thrown in for good measure. I had a wander through another reserve a little bit further from home than the last two locations in the previous posts.

A few snaps with the Nikon Z 9 and 800mm pf lens

#1 Gang Gang Cockatoo

#2 Crimson Rosella

#3 Long-billed Corella

#4 Common Bronzewing

#5 Grey Kangaroo

Great results, Richard!I take it the 800pf is a keeper?

Thank you Lance. Yes, the 800 PF is a keeper. I find it balances nicely with the Z 9, and so far the minimum focus distance hasn’t been an issue.

Common Bronzewing

amazing bird! That colour-combination on the wing!
Great pictures, thanks for sharing!

Wow, very nice pictures.
Especially the bronzewing is a very nice bird. I've never seen it.
You got really cool birds there down under (I guess it's down under since there is a kangaroo and you write it's winter).

I just got a 800 and minimum focus distance has been an issue for me - because I went to the local botanical garden where birds land on your hands and follow you I came back with a macro lens the next day.

Thank you. When the sun shines on their wings the colours look amazing

Thank you, and yes, I am from downunder

The MFD will become an issue for me in spring as some of the birds do come quite close. Until then I’m enjoying using the 800mm

Richard what a wonderful set of images with the 800pf. I have had my lens for a few months now and I just love it. It replaced my 600 f4 G version. I love being able to hand hold it. I am sure you are liking yours based on these images.
