Certainly is full frame! Just a pity that you've lost a bit of the foot.

Re: stonechat full frame

I doubt my set up would of focused that close , I was a bit confused by the exif it seems to read 840mm ? I am guessing you were in a hide to get this close ? It is a shame about the foot , but the details are amazing . I would be happy with this if it was a Sparrow , but you got a top notch bird as well .

Re: stonechat full frame

that's some good detail

Stonechats seem almost as approachable as robins and most of mine from the cliffs have been close and the birds just sit there and allow an approach from different angles

Incredible detail Jeff, great shot.

When you bought the Mondeo did you opt for the optional hide then lol
