This bird was quite some distance away..Using a 40-150mm lens on my Olympus gave me a 35mm equivalent of 300mm on the 4/3rd sensor..I found within the settings a x2 Digital teleconverter which boosted it to 600mm..Surprised there's Not much loss of IQ ....R.

I've never heard of this kind of bird, Richie. It is such a beautiful blue and You did a fantastic job if You were some distance away. Great job.

Very good shot for that distance. I didn't know that these birds are blue-black.

That is quite some detail on the birds feather for that distance - excellent catch.

Nope, you didn't lose any quality on that one that I can see. Great detail in the grass and plumage.
