This bird was about 45 meters from me but with the 500 mm lens plus the converter 1.4, I managed these fairly decent pics, although far from competition quality:
Pigeon ramier ou Palombe dans le sud-ouest:
Avec une focale de 700 mm (500 mm + convert 1/4) plus l’effet ‘petit capteur’, je suis parvenue à photographier cette palombe sauvage atterrissant et à l’envol sur cette branche à environ 45 mètres de mon affût. Pas de la grande image mais sympa quand même:
At another occasion I had the opportunity to shoot this individual bathing, a great show! Wouldn’t we love to do the same?
A une autre occasion j’ai eu l’opportunité de photographier un individu au bain, un bien joli spectacle… On en ferait bien autant, vive l’été!!!

Passionate about Nature and photography but mostly animals and birds. I live in France at the present, but have lived in Africa for 16 years and in the U.S. for 3 years and with Australia in mind for the future. With my husband, I created and managed a Bird Park in South Africa, raising mainly psittacines; the breeding facility housed over 1000 parrots at any given time. My photography is about sharing fauna's beauty with other enthusiasts! Equipment: NIKON lenses: 400 mm Z F4/5, 800 mm Z, 500 mm, 200/500 mm, 800 mm f5/6E
