 Egret babies are so fun to watch as they try to learn how to control their little necks.

With this, from about 70 yards, or about a city block.
It's a Meade,10 inch, 2500mm, f10 mirror scope. It's not as sharp as a "straight through" glass lens, but it has much better reach than anything else in my toy box.

Wow...I always wondered what they looked like as babies! Amazing setup you have there. It literally dwarfs your camera!

Great shot, especially at that distance, and that is a great set up you have there. I'm having a giggle at SaraR's comment!

What a set up! Atmospheric conditions, must play a HUGE roll in sharpness levels. I know this from my 500/700mm. But at 2500mm, it must be challenging.
Oh and nice shot of the little fellow.

OMG, is that for real? It looks like a cross between a muppet and a loo brush!
