I have seen other kind of quail around here before but not this kind.

K-H, very nice pictures. Your long glass on the Nex in your hands is getting some really nice close looks at numerous birds. Your pictures share these looks with us and are always nice to see.

Henry, Guenther, Stuart, Paul, Karl, Tri,

 

Many thanks for your kind feedback.

 

This is the tool I used for the above shot.

Actually the two birds were in the same shot looking at each other.

But, unfortunately an OOF tree smack in the middle.

I wanted to finally get a shot of those skittish Quails.

So I didn't reposition the tripod.

Hopefully, there will be another opportunity.

What wonderful shots of quail! We have them here, (though a different variety) but I have never been able to photograph them as they are so easily spooked and take off so quickly. You really are a bird whisperer.

Dee,

 

Thank you for your feedback. Very much appreciated. Sometimes I get lucky! :)

I also learned whether it's wildlife or the weather, an opportunity can disappear in the next second.

So, being ready and immediately reacting to it is essential.

 

Also, I find modern Leica APO R lenses give better image quality.

Nevertheless, these older Leitz lenses have their own charm and challenges.

And I find them fun to use.

 

I am looking forward to get my M240, wondering how it handles new and old lenses.
