I recently went to Dungeness to test out a new 1.7x converter. This is one of the results, and I am pleased with it. There are currently loads of starlings moulting into their winter coat from their juvenile feathers, add a strong wind to the mix and you have this messy individual.

Even in 2D this is superb.

A brilliant BOAS.

looks like the 1.7 works out pretty well you have every right to be pleased with it, almost looks like two birds stuck together

Hi David,

Good looking image, I like how the spikey perch matches the Starling's spikey feathers. My only very minor nit is that I would like a touch more room at the bottom of the image, the bottom foot is a little tight, but other than that it's a smart shot of a Starling.
