As those of you who follow me on twitter will already know, I have recently gained some new equipment in the form of a Canon 7d Mk2 and a Sigma 120-300 f/2.8 OS (new camera and lens basically!). Last weekend was my first opportunity to test the new kit when myself and
Gary Loader took a trip down to Kent to see a Desert Wheatear. I was very impressed with the setup, though the fantastic light meant it was difficult to go far wrong!

I was more interested to see how the lens performed in less ideal conditions and so today, in the gloom I headed off to Hyde Park. In the end the light was marginally better than I was expecting, though I never found myself shooting below ISO 1600! The camera performed fantastically with noise performance - significantly better than my old Sony.
Enjoy!

They are really great pictures. I always spend so much time watching the birds they are flying away when I remember to take a picture.
