very nice, love the b/g. no idea how you keep them sharp at these shutter speeds and this focal length - I struggle at these speeds with my none VR 500mm!

Spring is just around the corner, soon be the shortest day and we can start all over, marvellous. Nice wagtail, the other prob at these speeds is to get a blur free tail.
