the 100-400 comes off as a great traveling lens except for the weight

Mervin,
Very nice pictures, especially #2 and the last one. What a great birder you are.

Erm,is the Mandrarin Duck an introduced species?
yes, i believe it is..the mandarin duck originally had an asian distribution. the english population was seeded by captive birds that had escaped/were released.
Which might not turn out to be such a bad thing, since they're becoming endangered in their native lands, if memory serves. Ecologically speaking the population is still too small to have much on an impact on the local systems, so nothing bad there
I see,thanks for the information.
Excellent stuff. Very good use of flash.
Cheers,
I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
