6. Robin

Nice ones Dave, it's been a while since I pointed the camera at a bird, or anything else for that matter

 

[Dave Green]

Thanks Glen - I was beginning to think I'd dreamt posting these.

Get the big lens out mate - it's feeding station season!

Funny, I didn't see these appear until now. It seems to happen sometimes that new posts go unnoticed for a while. Nice, it is not easy to photograph such small birds well. Did you manage to get close or did you have to crop heavily?

Seems that way - I have threads that never got a reply lol. I've even changed my aftershave

A bit of both - it's a pretty good feeding station but you still almost always have to crop to some degree.

Missed these also...I love the 2nd Robin one. Great capture of a perturbation expression.

I like the magpie - he looks a cheeky chappy

So are you in a hide then? Behind glass?

 

[Pete Askew]

Nice set Dave. That last one is mildly comical tough isn't it. I think he's been overdoing it on the bird feeder!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

No.6 for me. Incredible clarity and detail.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

My favourite is the Magpie, superb set Dave.

 

[Dave Green]

Thanks folks

So are you in a hide then? Behind glass?

Yes - in a hide - but no glass.

I just love'em all. A dull day you say? What would be an exiting day? My favourite though, is #5 the Robins which shows sharp portrait and one coming into the picture. Again I am in awe for its clarity, sharpness and composure.
