Avian Nesting April 2021 - White-breasted Woodswallow

I was surprise to see a nest being constructed on the metal bracing of a electrical post in the open rather than in a tree. It will collect fibrous husk from the nearby coconut tree besides roots and twigs to make its nest.

Photos taken with Olympus OMD1 mark iii using a EF 400mm DO lens and Viltrox adapter. Shooting in good morning lighting but even stepping down to f7.1/8 I still cannot get much better resolution. I definately have to abandon the idea of the setup and return to a Canon body.

 

Avian Photo Gear - Rumor has it Fuji XF 150-600mm lens is coming

 Well fuji has announced that other Lens makers like Tamron and Sigma can now get propriety license to make lenses for Fuji. How soon I don't know but I think soon. I hope Sigma & Tamron would allow those existing owners to bring in their lens in Canon or Nikon mount for conversion to Fuji EF mount.

Rumors have it that Fuji is finally coming out with a new Bigmama. This is good news for birders. if it is priced right and affordable below RM12,000 or less. I will definitely get one if so. I will be waiting for it in 2022! To be lightweight it has to be in f5.6-6.3 similar to Sigma  unit. I hope Sigma & Tamron would allows those exisitng owners to bring in their lens in Canon or Nikon mount  for conversion to Fuji EF mount.
