I like the second one of the female blackbird. For me it is the "natural" loking backdrop that it has.

[barsbyart]

Nice set of birdie pics. Feeders very useful for birdies (and 'togs) this time of year.

One 'tip' - provide a perch (old branch) nearby with neutral, uncluttered background and focus on that - birdies will often Q up waiting their turn on feeder. Makes 'nicer', more natural pics.

[Ladybird]

Thanks for all comments and advice! :thumbs: I hope to have another go when I get my own lens, got to give this one back! :(

[hairy]

Great set there :thumbs:

[madmitch]
