Sigma 150-500 Zoom Lens

Bought one of these to mark a milestone birthday. Not saying which one, but it's got a 5 in it !

Tried it out for the first time at Hogganfield at lunchtime today:

Aside from trying out my new lens I was also able to note that all the wintering Whooper Swans now appear to have departed. There were 3 Oystercatchers present and a Buzzard caused all the Gulls and Feral Pigeons to take flight.

There were also at least 3 Great Crested and 1 Little Grebe present. Increased numbers of Lesser Black Backed Gulls were also a sign of the advancing Spring. Clocks go forward on Sunday !
