Bird spotting with the new zoom

Have to admit my first efforts with the new zoom were pretty poor. I was hoping that it was the glass and the gloomy day that killed the lens, and I'd be right I think.

Results from proper light and being outside gave much better results. Maybe not Canon L quality (quite a way from it in fact), but more than acceptable I think, and even better that it only cost $50.

Slow day today. Wife doing taxes and me just staying out of her way.
