Andrew,
Just curious as to what in Rich's image caused you to ask about back focus.
This is something which I am almost paranoid about.

At this stage you dont need to be concerned Tori. Whats being talked about is the focusing accuracy of your camera/lens combination. When the auto focus focuses on an image, it should be sharp at the point that you selected to focus on. Its possible for the focus to be slightly out of adjustment and instead of focusing on your selected point, its actually focusing just in front or behind the selected point. I hope this makes sense.Should I be worried?! I have no idea what you're all talking about now

Looking at your images and the edits CT did, I honestly dont think you have any problems there, and even if there is, its not worth getting involved with until you are really refining your photography. So in answer to your question, no
Andrew, thanks for clearing that up as I could not work out where the "problem" may have been with the KF.I was talking about the OP not the KF!!
I'm building already! My living room has bird hide bits in it! At least this time the bits are not off a 10 foot long trike! (Yes I built bits of it in my living room...only he clean bits lol)
I'm glad I don't have anything to worry about. The feeder was moving quite a bit
No it wasn't actually as it was free flying in a demo and no jessees either.
Yep it is bigger than a blue tit but all I was trying to say was the 70-300 lens is a good lens and not to give up.
bit smaller... very large crop, absolutely no PP work whatsoever, apart from the crop, using the 70-300, shot through a closed dirty window. Needs PP sharpening etc etc.... but once again trying to say do not give up on the 70-300, keep persevering.

KF - KingfisherEh? I'm lost now!
If this hide is going to be motorised as was suggested earlier, I hope its not going to be another ToriCanon get it... Torrey Canyon oh dear, I wish I hadnt said that nowI bought a new table yesterday, it's full of seed and I have 12 fat balls hanging up, a bread holder and a coconut thing. My hide is coming on. I have to get a new blade for my jigsaw tomorrow and I might have something to post ;-) (Not a bird pic, a ToriHide pic lol)
Dont rub it in there's always GoogleTorrey Canyon! I don't think Tori's old enough to remember that.
1967...I was minus 6 lol. And yes I did google apparently the oil is still killing wildlife today, 44 years later...
Dried fruit? I'm trying not to put anything down that smells 'too good'. My ThomasCat kills a couple of rats a week in the summer here. I live in a field with farms and stuff so I don't want to encourage anything that might try to gnaw it's way into my house. Not that it'd live long!
Maybe if I keep it up high it'll be ok. How high can rats jump? ThomasCats best rat was 13 inches long! It can't jump that high surely?
Torrey Canyon! I don't think Tori's old enough to remember that.
Yes like my missus she can be trying as wellI'm still trying! ;-)
