Went out to photograph Bohemian Waxwings today and after singing the "Bohemian Rhapsody" from my favorite band of all times they suddenly appeared...

Jeroen one of the best Waxwings posted to date, the water droplets are a nice addition to the image.
Processing and colour spot on as usual. BTW is this the new 600, or the older version?
Cracking work!

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your kind words and i know i am going to make you laugh but my 600mm is version 1 with no IS and It's almost 20 years old...
But as long as the old lady works i am happy..
Jeroen, the reason I asked was a buddy of mine out here in Canada has just spent the last 3 weeks weighing up the 500 or 600 so it's interesting to know that the old ones still produce excellent/exceptional work.
