Grey Butcherbird - first light for Canon 100-400mm

[Paddy]

Well, knowing that my new Canon EF 100-400mm L zoom would arrive at my office today, I took the camera. Shortly after it arrived it was on the 500d and out the back where there is some lovely native vegetation and my local Grey Butcherbird ready for one quick shot with my new toy. Cloudy skies and no chance really to get composed, I am quite happy with the photo and very happy with the lens. :):):)

Being new to this I am ready to learn and would welcome any advice.

Nice first light is that a young un Paddy?

[Paddy]

Thanks Liz and Warren. I don't think he's a young one, I think he's fluffed his feathers up because it is so cold down here at the moment.

Nice shot Paddy
I've recently bought a 100-400 too , nice lens and more handy than the 70-200 and 300mm that always seemed to have a 1.4X on it any way.
Well done
Zane

Thanks all. I really like the new lens, but alas have been away and had few opportunities to use it.
