2nd session with new lens

Having had little success last weekend with the herons on a grey misty afternnon, I've been watching the weather forecast all week - finally sunshine this morning.

I decided to go to a different part of the local reserve today, an area where I understand there to be a heronry. Anyway, along the path, I came accross a tog with a large lens - seems only polite to stop and chat. We didn't talk cameras (he had a large body, looked like a Canon, and a large black lens, possibly a Sigma) - we just chatted about the birds - apparently many visitors regularly set out wild bird feed - the woodland was teaming with bird song.

Nice series. I'm sure you're going to love the 100-400.

This is a nice set of images, Lawrence. Those little ones are difficult, aren't they? The LTT in the first image looks a bit soft/blurry, but the others look good. I like the Blue Tit best, followed by the Nuthatch and the Robin. All in all a good set.

Thank you for the kind and encouraging comments.

The Nuthatch has to be my favourite, as I rarely get to see them.

All the above were hand held, perhaps I should of unpacked the monopod. Mind you, now I know where they feed from, perhaps I should consider the tripod and wireless remote. Mind you, I think sitting on a branch would be more preferable to fencepost with feed.

Looking forward to next weekends walk already

You two seem to gel well already Lawrence. The images are good proof. Hope you get more sunshine day coming your way after the heavy snow. Look forward to seeing more.
