This is one of the first bird photos I have attempted. It's harder than I thought it would be. It doesn't help that I am using a cr***y lens (Sigma 100-300 DL).

Thanks, James. This was the only one out of about 8 that was salvageable.

You did well. His face is nicely in focus and that isn't always easy to do with all the grass in front.

Kent County, New Brunswick, CANADA
has to be one of the world's best kept secret. It is bordered by the sea to the east and is made up of small villages, farms, forest, brooks and rivers. I have lived here all my life and
would recommend it to anyone.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. Bird photography is much harder than I ever expected. It's like those little buggers know they are being photographed but won't sit still!
