Dunnock Studies

[CT]

Well... it sounds better than " Here's another Dunnock."

These guys seem to be the inquisitive ones to come and check you out when everything else is playing hard to get. Fantastic colour and markings this one is showing too.

All at 700mm and 800 ISO. The light is as dull as dishwater as you can see, but at least you tend not to get highlight problems.

Those are really lovely as always CT!
Last one is my fave, fab face detail & I like the way the wind has gotten under its feathers!

Wish the Dunnocks here were as nosey, I find them hardest to get of all.
Swap ya cheeky Robin for a nosey Dunnock!

LOL. Me Robins are being a bit coy at the moment - don't wanna come and play at all.

Thank you ma'am!

I've run no NR on these either - the 40D does handle noise really well.

They are rather spiffing.
You certainly know your onions when it comes to catching birdies

It was the 500mm f4L with a 1.4X TC- tripod mounted. It was taken on the 40D.

Thanks for the comments.
