The bird was approx 80 metres away from where I was shooting. Provided I keep the shutter speed to 1/1000 sec or faster, the photos are quite sharp from the WO ‘scope. Anything slower and I see the effects of vibrations from the mirror slap as it flips up, even with the built-in 2.5 sec delay.

These photos are cropped heavily from the full frame.
