Birding with a macro lens

At last, I've managed to go birding with a 70mm macro lens (35mm + 2X).
This is the result, second shot was taken with a 50-200mm.

What is the distribution for this fella?
According to Robson, the go up to 1,100m.
But this fella was shot in Genting Highland, which I think is much higher.

God's timing.
It was scheduled for release that day by the care taker.
I was given the honour to release it back to the wild.
Of course, it did not immediately fly off and I've taken my share of his portraits.

Yup, I was surprise too when he brought it out for release.
Hope it will stay there and get its adult's plumage.
More? Of course there are more. How to let pass a rare opportunity like this.
These are just teasers, will post more when selected.
