Well this is not a brilliant photo but thought I would share it as an example of having the wrong kit.
On our last day in Lanzarote we had to return our hire car to the Hertz office which then involved a 2 km walk along the beach/ prom to our resort. It being extremely hot, we wanted to travel light so just had the 17-85 on the 7D. We then came across a whole flock of cattle egrets on the beach but being spooked easily just could not get near enough before they took flight en masse - heres a cropped shot of 3 of them in frame at my maximum 85mm
