I said I would take some shots of the way I had my hide set up.
So after a trudge through the snow
No1
A general view to give an idea how far the fedders are from the windows. Note the feeder on the windowsill. That is why I need a macro lens for my red squirrels
No2
A close up of the Birch stem sticking up from the bird feeder tray. I bored 1inch holes in it & stuff a fatball into the holes. This is about 6feet from the camera position in the hide.
no3
The way I hang my feeders. Birds tend to perch on the branch before hopping on to the feeders. The reds also use these feeders. Another tip. Use two hooks to hold each feeder. It tends to stop them swinging so much.
N04
Nothing special a shot but just to show you an uncropped shot at 300mm to give you an idea of the size you will get at that distance.
No5
Again, uncropped shot of a Coalie at about 5ft from the camera.
No6
A view from inside looking out using an 18-50.
Squirrels run up the pole leading to the window & sitting on the sill peer in to have a look around.
