At Joel,
That 600mm II is the only lens that temps meover the 800mm. I wonder what would the AF speed be with the 1.4 II? If it's significantly slower that might be a deal breaker. But f/4 is very valuable.

Large 32-36cm (12-14"), aggressive and very noisy. The Wattle is the pink patch below the eye, this one looks like a juvenile because the patch is still small. When they are nearby it's very easy to attract them, just get a recording of their bird calls from the net and you will have the entire clan around you.

Hey thanks for the info Raid, nice sharp shots. Galahs are comical birds, I have to try very hard not to walk like one, when I have had one of my long lunches.
