Many thanks for the kind words, I do get very frustrated at times with my captures but I guess we all do. I'm very lucky as there is alot of great birdlife in Australia and I seem to have a great deal of it pretty much on my door step. I complain alot about crawling/climbing or walking but to be honest I think sometimes getting dirty or wet is half the fun 
.
I need to improve in many ways, but there is only one way to do that and thats to get out there and practice. Besides, would it be as much fun if every capture you took was perfect ? The challenge is half the fun and driving force to keep shooting. I like to share most of my captures, but if anything I think the less than perfect ones are the best. That way I get other peoples input which I can use hopefully to improve my weaknesses.
I don't like shooting kept animals or even animals in the suburbs as I like more natural environments. Not to say theres anything wrong with urban shooting/captures, just not to my tastes. I don't even like shooting at the zoo, I dislike the cages. Thanks again for any and all input and the kind comments.
