Another nice sunny day here in the UK, so another little stroll at lunchtime. Several times I pointed the camera in the direction of birds but they usually reacted very quickly by flying away. But I did get one or two
First off was this: ![]() My ornithological knowledge being almost non-existent I have no idea what this is. I recognise the next bird, it's a robin. It seemed very happy as it was singing away for ages. ![]() ![]() The next is probably a sparrow ![]() Like in a previous photo of a bird "taking off, when this one decided to fly off it started with a plunge. I assume that it needed to gather a bit of speed before using its wings ![]() And finally (hooray!!!) hidden in a tree: ![]() Well, that's all for today folks. Keith |

Thanks Dawg. I use the Sigma 70 - 300m (APO) mostly at the 250 - 300mm end so most of my shots are a little on the soft side - thank goodness for PP! Now, who would have thought a year ago that I'd say something like that :-)
I tend to use this lens as my walkabout as I prefer it to the 18-55mm kit lens. Not that the kit lens is bad, I just don't think I take very good photos at the wider end. I suppose I ought to use it more and practise, etc but when I do I always miss a shot that needed the longer lens; never seems to bother me the other way round. Keith |
