Bokeh is hard to predict. No one can be sure that the Pentax 300 would
yield better bokeh in this particular situation. The lens is always an
important part of the equation, but the tones and luminosity of the
background are critical as well.

Let me answer this in a more civil way:
There is no affordable fast Pentax 300mm lenses around. So I'll settle
with
a Tamron for the time being.

Nice pic, though I sure wish the bokeh was more like Pentax's!

I've enabled myself with another crappy lens. A Tamron 300/2,8

Ok,
it is not crappy, but it is old, and has a lot off what the seller
called
patina. What's really nice is that it balances perfectly with the DS
when
using the AF converter. It’s a fast lens, so the auto focus is
speedy.
I feel enabled! :-D

*istDS, Tamron 300/2,8 + Pentax AF 1,7x TC, 400 ISO raw, f:4,
1/500s.
Converted in RSP.
This Common Redshank allowed me to go pretty close. I believe I was
about 5m
away. After a while I went for a lower shooting angle. And while I
was
doing
my thing, it went on doing its thing; the evening toilet, brushing
its
feathers ;-)
It was very sweet.
Gratulations and/or comments are appreciated.
