...with its dinner. Taken from the Eric Morecambe Hide, Leighton Moss, north Lancs yesterday. Needless there were quite a few binned shots to get this one from a timing point of view. The Sigma is a great lens for the money but you have to work within its limitations to get reasonable results. I am starting to understand those limitations. Good lighting to give an f8 aperture or smaller, near to the subject to avoid too much cropping etc.
