I decided to take a trip up to the Dandenong Ranges today as I'd read about this place called Grant's Picnic Ground. Apparently you can get close to the birds. Well they were right! I had a fantastic time and will definitely be going back. Kipper...that 70-200VR would be perfect. I was using my 80-400VR.
Get there early to avoid the tourist buses!

Nicole,
That's a really nice image...
For future reference, I'd probably prefer to have seen slightly more of the bird, or failing that, slightly less bokeh at the top and more of the lower half of the bird...
One day I'll have to get one of those VR thingies...

Great shot! Maybe a slightly tighter crop will add impact?

Thanks for the comments. I agree about showing more of the bird. I have another shot I took that shows more of the bird. Hope you guys don't mind all these birds...

Hi Nicole,
Wow. Nice sharp pic you got there. Looks like 80 - 400 is a very sharp lens for a zoom.
cheers,
Arthur

Nicole - well done. Tremendous colour and sharpness. More birds the better, and they do not have to be feathered
