    Winter Garden birds

    Six inches of snow in the Midlands and the birds get braver in coming closer to the house for food.

    E-30 & 70-300mm wide open and ISO1250 shot through the living room window







    Regards Paul.
    One day I hope to be the person my dogs think I am.

    Lovely sharp shots, Paul, especially for ISO1250.

    Here's two from my garden today. One of them extremely unusual. Both are a little soft as I had the EC1.4 on the 70-300mm

      Lovely exposure and detail in these shots Paul, great stuff.
      I particularly like the Blackbird and Robin shots

      Edit: Nice shots also John

        Hi john,

        Am I correct in thinking the second shot is a water rail?

        Super shots by the way Paul & John.

            It is indeed. I have never actually seen one of these before. I believe they are more common in England.

              Green with envy Paul.

              Don't let him near a 50-200!

                          Yep Alex, I was amazed.

                          I even watched as a Sparrowhawk flew in and tried to capture the Fieldfare as it was feeding on the apples. It missed, and landed in a tree right above me.

                              That's one fat little blackbird!

                              I love that picture with the snow...really captures the conditions.
