No problem it's easy to get confused they are so close,I don't even look at the beak I look for those black dots along side the tail or the lack of.

Great shot, you managed that with only 1/160? Didn't realise the Tamron VC was that good!

Its not bad, but in this case the photog is very good, that always helps. I've not been able to replicate his skill, but I am practising.

Was more thinking if the VC on the Tamron is that good on static birds, then I could maybe test it out with a slower shutter speed and thus lower ISO
