1) Wren

2) Jay

3) Red-breasted Merganser

4) Siskin

5) Brambling

6) Dartford Warbler

awesome set,im just loving the shot of the dartford warbler

 

[Ceege]

Thanks for your kind comments folks!

@ Dogfish_magnet - I use the Nikkor 200-400 f4 with a Nikon 1.4 TC. It's a lovely lens and just about right for the birds I try to take. All bar the Siskin and Brambling shots are handheld and the other two, I rested the tripod foot on the hide I was sitting in.

Fantastic set! Dartford Walbler, Cardiff? I'm guessing that was taken away from home?

 

[Cuddy]

Quality set there, some real belters among them.

Fantastic set..........nice to see some out of the ordinary chaps there too.

 

[Ceege]

Thanks again folks for the kind feedback.

@Carlitos - Yes you're right! The Dartford Warbler was taken at the wonderful Keyhaven reserve overlooking the Solent down in Hampshire. The nearest Dartfords to Cardiff I know of are on the Gower 40 miles to the west, so seeing as we were down at the in-laws, I made myself scarce one morning and stumbled across the great wildlife down there.

[Ceebs]

Great series-2&3 are the pick for me, good detail and excellent light.
