Thanks Leon, I had the camera set on Auto so considering how quickly everything happened. The camera has done a great job IMO.

Thanks Dennis,

Yes, I am still looking forward to the day I am able to upgrade to a better lens.

I tried my best to keep the bird in the FOV for as long as possible while I pressed the shutter release. It is definitely harder than it looks but I guess just like anything, practise makes perfect.

Great effort with such a short focal length lens

Thanks Tony,

Trust me, I was considering it...
