Hi Guys,
To answer the questions, the wader shots were cropped slightly, to re-frame them. I'm used to cropping a lot so I would say that probably about 40% of the background has gone. The Buzzard pic is cropped a lot, probably down to 25% of the original.
The "teleconverter" is just yet another form of digital zoom, as far as I can tell. I haven't used it. The images just lose pixels, there is no "real" magnification.
