Bar-tailed Godwits (Limosa lapponica)

Testing my two zoom lenses and found my Tamron 150-600 is not focusing to well. I will have to have it serviced. Back to my old Canon 100-400 lens.
Habitat
Tidal flats
Location
Auhuriri, Napier.
Date taken
24 January 2015
Scientific name
Limosa lapponica
Equipment used
Canon 50D + Canon 100-400 zoom lens
Nice setting Dick, everybody that I know with the Tamron 150-600 seems to think that it is somewhat soft between 550 and 600mm

Like the others, Dick, I trust the lens issue isn't a major problem. At the moment, I agree with Hans and Judy. we were trying to capture some Weebills this morning (a newbie for us), and the auto-focus ones were OK. I tried some manual focus because of the greenery with no success. I will not admit to getting older, but this wear and tear on the parts is a pain...

Anyway, a top capture of the Godwits. TFS Mate.
 
Nice wader capture...Well done Dick. You seem to have your fair share of probs with cameras/lenses/PCs etc, I hope you get it sorted soon mate.
 
A lovely setting for this fabulous group capture, Rookery !!! Thanks for sharing.
