Post your Bird Portraits

Both my hands and wrists are almost shot and after a few bursts of firing, my trigger finger goes dead and I cannot feel the button anymore. Missed a few opportunities because of this. I now pass the camera strap over my back, like a bandolier, so that if I lose my grip, it cannot fall far or jolt my neck. But, hey, we must suffer nobly for our art!

Yep very true and much better than knitting

Thank you, I think they are a very cute little bird. I loved waking up to the sound of them in the morning

Wouldn't let me embed two images into the last post so here's the other one.

I'm going to try and find a recording online, as, if it is a combination of a nightingale's and a thrush's song, it should be a virtuoso performance.
