So just sorrow then! ;)

Was sat in my car and was reading Chris Gomeral's book when this guy landed on the other side of the car park. Got one shot before he flew off.

800mm

I was leaning on the car window - you can see some blur in the tail as it moved, but not bad I think. I've strong arms from miling cows as a kid! :D:D:D

I like magpie. They are not the easiest subject to meter but you've done well. Nice work Damian.

Get the bird while you can, I have done this on many occasions Damian, with different settings and turned out quite good. This magpie with it's colour, focus and details is quite good. Well done!

Thanks guys. Funnilty enough I'd just read in Chris Gomersal's book that when you shot a black and white bird you should take a spot meter off the white and ignore the black. I didn't have time to do that so just lucked out I guess.
