[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
My first time went out birds shooting with a friend.I find it kinda interesting but yet tired.Anyway,was exited with the new lense I got so left home as early as 6:30am.
Was lucky as we found it's nest too but with only 1 egg.We hide in my 4 wheel drive approximately 15-20ft away.
Hope you guys like it as I did.Couldn't find it's name not even to mention it's photo in our local birds guide.

Additional : Thank you gentlemen for sharing the name to me.

I use a tripod 100%, I wouldn't want to shoot without one :)
That under rated 70-300 G lens is quite remarkable if properly handled. As it is I agree the image is soft, most likely the focusing. Keep it up!
