I decided to sell my 100-400L, it was nice having it but i don't use it enough to justify keeping my money locked up with it. I think i've used it 5 times total since purchasing it in June last year. Went to 2 airshows with it, twice to the zoo, and once to the avian photoshoot.

I had my 135L with me today and this bird has been lingering outside my work for the past two days and it showed up again today.. **Need ID Zex!! This bird is active during the day and extremely active during the night.. doesn't like to fly at all.. runs majority of the time and when it flys.. it chirps alot.

I baited it with some saltine crackers and shot these... and cropped ofc.








Crazy sharp even when cropped close to 100%

Thanks for having me spend 1400 dollars!
