Thank you. Yes, it's the Sigma 150-600mm C. Sigma have some funky, interesting bokeh .

#4 is a wallhanger, superb

Thank you.

Thank you. The light was very helpful for these shots.

Yes, the Bee eaters are beautiful.

Love the background and bird colors! Well done!

One of the lucky things with Bee eaters is that they return to the branch they like so you get plenty of time to think about foreground, background, bokeh, look of the shot.

Lovely birds! It's a nice set with #3 and 4 being my favorites. #3 is tops.

Thank you.

While the bee-eaters have left on their migration to Africa, I still have plenty of images with them to cull and edit .
