This was such a fun post to read and if it makes you feel better I have had the same looks for going to a god park without a dog and from your shots that’s so much more than a dog park

I was complaining about the days getting shorter with the sun setting at 7Pm now but you just put that into focus for me our days donor get as short as yours

Sorry I am terrible with knowing the names for various birds
As for the teleconverter that will give you more reach and is something I have considered getting as my longest lens only goes to 240 and may be an option I go for as it’s a lot cheaper than buying a big lens they do reduce the amount of light to the sensor of course but if your thinking of changing camera and mount in the future it may be the best option for now

Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :)
