Nice shots - you must have been very close @300mm.

Tight!

Very nice. I like Macro birds.

Man....how close were you? Incredible detail...nice, almost macro-like definition. Good work.

Nice and sharp.

Outstanding shots. Very sharp with good details and beautiful bokeh.

Wow-about as close- up a close- up as you can get! Very nice, I like the second one for some reason.

ouch! so sharp! lovely shots

Man, I love in that first one how you captured the 'double' catchlights, in the pupil and in the crease at the edge of the eyelid. Amazing!

Awesome shots! So how close to them were you?

Very nice, but how did you get so close? A hide?

Spot on Mark, Need to be patient and sit for quite some time to let the birds get used to the surroundings.

I have taken shots of these small garden birds with both my 300mm F/2.8L IS and my 500mm F.4L IS.

Both do a great job but as always to get this quality you need a steady hand with no camera shake.

Really appreciatte all the comments guy's..

Got this Woodpecker doing the same..

Any converters on them? That woodpecker shot is fantastic.....dare I ask...was this in your garden?

Very nice, great idea I am going to try and get some, I hope they turn out as fantastic as yours.
