Packrat, you're correct with the 840mm in 'old money' and it's surprising the stability a monopod can give, even with macro shots too but it's the Nikon gear that produces the images - I just have to be there at the right time with the right gear!

Waxwing on berries. Taken in January 2009, in Lincoln, UK car park (the cold weather in Scandinavia forces them over the North Sea to our shores in some years). Nikon D300, Nikkor 200-400 VR and 1.4 Nikkor x converter. Aperture priority, ISO200, 1/640. Monopod and Wimberley head.
