Outing at Kuala Lumpur Bird Park

In conjunction with the installation of the 16th DYMM SPB Yang DiPertuan Agong on 30.07.2019, which was declared as a public holiday, I took the opportunity to do some bird photography at KL Bird Park together with some friends from ASFON WP photography group.  We arrived at the park by 8:45am and we were among the first few visitors into the park that morning.  We brought our sons to for the outing.

My main setup (and the only setup) is the SONY a7RIII with the SONY FE 100-400 f/4.5-5.6 GM OSS (SEL100400GM) lens and SONY FE 2.0x Teleconverter (SEL20TC).  All the shots were handheld because I didn't want to haul my tripod at the park. The weather was nice with clear blue skies after the morning light rain.

Here are some of the shots taken during the outing.
