HKUST Birds 香港科技大學野鳥

A few years ago I started getting up in the morning and walking around campus to take pictures of the birds. I started with a RF100-400 f5.6-8, sometimes with a 2x teleconverter, and more recently I’ve been shooting with the RF800 f11. Here is the full gallery of HKUST bird pictures at my Smugmug site.
