Hi Tim,Thanks Mike! A week in Wales sounds great!
If you mean Gigrin Farm then it's not really my favourite place to be honest. Your view is quite restricted from the hides and the background scenery is not particularly exciting. For me it's an extra 30 minute drive to reach Bwlch Nant yr Arian where they also feed the kites daily. The background scenery is so much nicer and there's a lake as well, it's also free except for a few pounds to park. They normally feed at 3pm in the summer but right now it says on their website that they are feeding at different times to avoid large crowds, but I can't imagine them deviating too much from what the kites are used to. I hope to get there myself soon so will find out what time they do feed.
The dot sight is a great investment and makes it a lot easier to spot and track birds at 600mm, I use it almost all the time with the kites now.
There is a little wiggle room but it's only an issue if I knock it, it doesn't move otherwise.
Nice shots Garry, where were you shooting them? It does look like the ISO is quite high or have you cropped in? Congrats on the 100-400!
These are cropped by 40%, taken at ISO 800, F8. While they do look good, i‘m not overly happy with the outcome. But then again, first time with this lens, so still playingNice shots Garry, where were you shooting them? It does look like the ISO is quite high or have you cropped in? Congrats on the 100-400!

Yes, I got one from this company.Years ago, there was an adapter sold that allowed a number of different red dot pistol and rifle sights to be mounted on cameras. The main purpose was birds in flight but I guess the idea didn't take off!
