Not much in the way of variety of birdlife down at the lake at the moment, what with winter making its presence felt. The main reason for the visit this weekend was to try out my new Sigma 150-600 f5.0/6.3. It is a beast and so different to the 70-200. On Saturday I made the mistake of leaving the OS system switched off and I was shooting at too low shutter speed. Sunday I went back with the camera set on manual f8.0, 1/1000 sec and ISO set to auto and the OS switched on.

#2 I'm pretty impressed that the camera/lens was able to focus effectively through the reeds.

I don't think our lake will dry out to the extent that Isac 's lake did. We are facing a different problem, urban encroachment, I'm not sure that the birdlife will continue to visit when this area becomes fully developed.
The area marked in red has roads and the housing lots have been marked out, I don't know when they will start on the other area, but I'm guessing it won't be long.
