This looks like a ridiculous set up!
 The ridiculous looking Tair 3 and Nex combo! by Caledonia84, on Flickr
Seams to do ok for birding if you can get close enough, I do think this lens is sharper than I can do it credit at the minute poor lighting and handling on my behalf, so will try again in better light and maybe use a monopod, the tripod wasnt usable in the hide so had to rest the tair on a ledge.

#4 is my favorite! But all of the photos are very great! I tried birding with this lens but only with 6D and the focus can't be fast enough for this purpose, maybe mirrorless is the way to go.

Thanks a lot guys, Very impressed with the lens to be honest the bokeh is excellent too with the 16 blades, definitely worth more than the £31 I paid for it, highly recommended

Beautiful shots. I did the same thing last weekend with my Sony and my Tair 3phs but never managed quite what you did. Perhaps a better hide.
I use a clamp similar to this with a tripod head attached. I clamp it to the 'leaning' shelf in the hide.

The image is of two pieces, the clamp and the tripod head. Any tripod head will do. My set-up is the same but using older (1970's) versions. I'll try to get a snap.
edit: Here is mine. Battered from decades of use.
There are several bodies of water near my home with hides. I must get out to them and see what's there.

I've got one of those clamps with a cheap head on it, I think the head is steel it's that heavy, but it's super smooth and solid with a long handle and easier with a big heavy lens than any of the more expensive heads I've got. I've also drilled and tapped the Manfrotto clamp so I can screw the head on the end.
It's a great bit of kit, but they are about £25 new.

Thanks again, but I did have around 500 shots from that day, maybe around 10 keepers!!!!! I did think to myself, "This would be really easy with a 300mm f4.5 Af lens" but where would the fun be in that!!! Plus I can't afford one!

That's why I love digital, some people criticize the machine method of getting the good picture, but was it actually that different back in the days of film? I remember watching a UK v USA athletics event back in the late 1970's and I was right behind a bunch of press photographers who has assistants loading cameras as fast as the motordrives were using film, and that went on all afternoon. As an amateur I shot a couple of rolls. Digital has liberated photography in that respect, we have the same chance as the pro's.
