Wonderful image, showing birds in their natural state.

Really great capture, if only i could get rid of the cats around here.

[Canon Bob]

Not a problem....we have a cat...trained to leave the birds alone.

Lovely picture, Bob :clap:

Your cat's better trained than our dogs. Any tips? :shrug:

:bonk: :bang: speaking of cats and birds, my camera was all snuggly in its bag this afternoon when I spied a male and female blackbird actually flying AT a local cat in our backgarden making a helluva racket. I can only assume the fledgings were out and about and mum and dad were keeping a very close eye on them.

Doesn't quite have the look of a natural born killer?

Sitting on the same wall that the chaffinches were feeding on.
