The ones we have here would never let you get this close!

I am not sure if you should bother with the Sigma. I had a lot of trouble with my Tamron 150-600 mm lens and I’ve heard of people who’ve had similar problems with Sigma. Issues with focussing and sharpness especially. And it’s also really heavy. I’ve been able to get better pictures with the 100-400 than I was with the 150-600 mm Tamron which I’ve ultimately sold again.

I would recommend you try it out before you buy it. Maybe mine was just a bad model. But as I said, others have reported the same thing with Tamron and Sigma on Canon R cameras.

Thank you! It was taken with a Canon EOS R10 and an RF 100-400 mm lens.

Yep, NRW here too. Rieselfelder Windel in Bielefeld.

Thank you! :-) It was a very lucky shot, they’re so fast, it’s like they have ADHD and can’t stay still! It sat there for maybe a second at most before it flew off again.

Finally, Estonia can indeed into Nordic!

Glad to see you here in this community! Lovely photo and well spotted! Very well-camouflaged bird. Are these in Europe? Never seen one here in Germany.

I love wrens. The ones we have here in Germany sing so loudly. Definitely one of the largest voice-to-body ratios of any bird.

Really beautiful bird! I love the blue ring around its eye. Reminds me a little bit of the Collared Doves we have here in Europe, but the Mourning Dove looks prettier I think :-)

Great photo! Birds facing forward often look hilarious. Looks like he fluffed up his head feathers!

I have never been a hard-core gamer and didn’t finish either D2 or even D3 — I did spend a lot of time with both of them, however, and thoroughly enjoyed my time with them.

I really like D4 so far, I have to say. Runs perfectly on my SteamDeck and it’s a lot of fun to play! If you look past the fact that you need an active Internet connection and the fact that there are (so far) purely cosmetic micro transactions, I think it’s a really fun and good game!

Fantastic shot! Where was this taken? (just a rough location)
