Bird book stuff, Paul. Your combo is ideal for that sort of shot.
Unfortunately the K7 is quite noisy above ISO 400 & the FA 100-300 a bit
soft at f5.6 so I really need to use a tripod for best results but, as you
say, it is a nuisance.

Thanks Attila. No tripod. Although it would enable slightly better
portrait-type shots, a tripod is an encumbrance for this type of shooting
IMO. I had hoped to get an in-flight pic as well, so I wanted to be able to
reframe rapidly. Unfortunately, Mr. Egret didn’t want to leave the Rouge.
Good eats, I suspect. High ISO capability and shake reduction have given us
the luxury of leaving the tripod at home.
