The gear seems to work well and the apo telyt has a crisp snap at birds in flight I'd say.

I also love the duck gathering (nb 4 ?)

I've been thinking of Doug ever since I saw one of his birds - stealthy Doug is a master you're perfectly right, and for me (self) impossible to match.
Which doesn't prevent us from trying, and improving along the way.
Getting nearer to the birds seems to be the really hardest part :-D

Thanks for sharing Marc, very pleasant shots in any case.
Don't turn as digitally lazy with the D3 as I have with the L1 and Rs - keep the R6 at hand. ;-)

This morning, I had a walk to a small river mouth, not too far from home.
I just wanted to try some R lenses with the D3: Cron 50, Macro 100 and Telyt 180. But I found there more life than I thought... and couldn't avoid to think with the Birdman of Sacramento ;-) Doug, I'll probably never watch wild birds without remember your wonderful pictures...
and I'm just beginning to realize how difficult it has to be !
