The Great Egrets are certainly beautiful birds and make it easy to take way too many photographs of them. 😆.

I used a Pana Leica 100-400 for this shot. Leica ‘glass’ is known for its quality, some of the best in the world. The body of this lens has some short comings though. Most notable is the very still zoom ring making it difficult to quickly change focal lengths. My personal solution is to lock the lens at a set focus, around 300mm. With a long lens most of what you shoot fits here. Being good glass the photos can be great. I don’t shoot birds in flight with this lens, the OM 100-400 is best used for that.
