Different Siskins

[dinners]

The cold snap has brought in more Siskins than ever over the last few days so this is a bit of mix bag from the garden. Don't usually bother with feeder shots but I've included a couple that I kind of liked.

A great set but number 3 stands out, out of curiosity what's in the feeders?

Superb captures and must confess I like No.4 too!

Just nijer seeds in those ones Mark. Certainly in my garden the Siskins, Redpolls and Goldfinches are all over them.

nice shots, lovely birds. Never even seen a siskin, let alone got a pic of one!

I can't get anything remotely close to this - can i ask what lens you used?

Hi Ian

These would have all been taken with a Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM Lens on a 40D body - at 400mm - from about 12-18 feet away. They're also cropped so there's about 75% of the full image left if that makes sense.

Another lovely set of Siskin shots Phil Number 1 stands out for me, the out of focus blossom add's depth to the image

 

[RKC]

Excellent

Nijer seed maybe this could sort my squirrel and pigeon problem, nijer instead of sunflower hearts.

Cheers Phil
