They are hard to catch and they always seem to have their back to you. I stopped taking bird photos for about two months now. I had a problem focusing the 560 Telyt on the Canon body. I have a focus confirmation adapter coming in tomorrow. I hope that helps. It really takes a long lens though. Thanks for looking and for the kind comments.
