Eurasian collared dove in our garden, Netherlands A very regular visitor to our garden for several years. Outranked by several bigger regular birds in feeding order, but this one is clever. <br /> <br /> Above all this shot is also a technical test, I&#039;ve added a 1.4x convertor to our 80-400mm tele, and wanted to test its performance. This explains the 550mm focal length (positive), but also the f/8 minimum aperture (negative). In these good conditions the combination works well.
