Sigma 50-500mm F4-6.3 APO DG

I managed to purchase a second hand Sigma 50-500mm F4-6.3 APO DG lens that fits onto my Olympus E620 digital camera, with the aim of using it for wildlife photography. Although the weather has not been great, dull and grey, I did manage to try it out at a couple of locations recently, Fleet Pond and Haven Boatyard Lymington, and here are a selection of the images taken.
