Extenders only work well with prime lenses. Certainly, the only people
using them professionally are wildlife photographers spending at least
£6,000 on their lens.

OK a few up there at 600mm. Unfortunately a bit of a hazy day for the
distance shots. Monopod again.

A similar (bird) one with Sigma 150-600 there too.

Click the "..." and "View photo detail" for EXIF shot details.
