I got a call from the Canon Service Centre yesterday; apparently, after replacing the zoom unit, they found the camera still wouldn’t work, and needed a couple of more (read expensive) things replaced as well. The young woman who called said that the cost would now cross 12K.

Have been trying out the macro function on the 300mm lens lately….

Today we went as an all-woman group to the Bannerghatta area beyond the large quarry, and later to the Zoo area…and the sightings were amazing, including an Egyptian Vulture, a Short-Toed Snake Eagle, a rufous male Paradise Flycatcher, White-Browed Fantail Flycatcher, the Tickell’s Blue, a Blue-Capped Rock Thrush and so on and on and on…..

Thank you, ...
