    The 600mm f4 Mk2 takes a 1.4 TC very well indeed and gets you close up and personal at 840mm.

    In the clear

    One of the Hammerkops did pose briefly in a clearing, perhaps a spot where hippos had grazed and trompled down the grass. Certainly a clearer shot than the one I posted before, but I almost think I preferred the one where he or she is hiding in the tall grass. Something about the secretive mood...

    Our next stop was down a side road to a large pond. Several hippos, some Blacksmith lapwings, and - hiding in the tall grass - a pair of Hammerkop. Here's one of them.

    The camera settings were all wrong for this image ..... and only fleeting glimpse of the bird as it flew by. Some like this image, others don't. I'm impartial.

    This hammerkop was looking for something to eat but he wasn't having much luck.
