Chaffinch - two shots.

Sat in a cafe in Whinlatter Forest Park. These were popping on to the tables and 'cleaning' up the crumbs.

All 400mm handheld.

1/100s f/5.6 at 400.0mm iso200

Great shots Damian - love the bokeh.
The second would have to be my favourite - just look at him/her looking at you. "Is this my good side?"!

Thanks Donna. I included that one because of the angle of the head. Thanks.

Lovely captures Damian.

Thanks Reyno - it is an often overlooked but very pretty bird.

Beautiful shots Damian! Superb backgrounds and the colour of the conifer branch really sets off the bird. Impressively slow shutterspeeds for handheld too. Well done mate!

Thanks Nick. I can just about get away with my camera at the table when we are having a family lunch in the cafe - but the monopod is a no-no!

Excellent shots with beautiful bokeh. Very well done indeed.

Thanks Sindri - appreciate the comments.

very well taken for a hend held at that speed like the first one best .
Rob.

Thanks Rob. I think the chocolate cake helped steady my nerves.
