Very good, I do the same sort of thing but with Little Owls (I even have that shopping trolley)

Thanks for the comments. When you say colour cast gramps what do you see?

For some months now I've been feeding the Buzzards on the same patch of field on our farm and I now have my hide set up down there. I have a friend who owns a Hog roast company and she saves me the carcasses, usually 1 or more every weekend during the summer and the Buzzards seem to love the...

Sorry for the late reply, holiday and work getting in the way lately.... Settings for No 1 Canon EOS 60D f/5.6 1/40 sec ISO - 1600 Focal Length 247mm No 2 f/5.6 1/13sec ISO - 1600 Focal Length 247mm No 3 f/6.3 1/60 sec ISO - 1600 Focal length 340 mm I can no longer photograph them as the...

Thanks for the comments and advice, I am very lucky, I also get to watch 60+ clips of all the cubs on trailcam every morning, that makes for some fun viewing. I do struggle with shutter speed as the Badger sett is in a wooded area so my hide has to face inwards, its also surrounded by very tall...

Still showing well from around 6.30pm onwards 1 2 3

Thanks for the comments, mine don't seem overly bothered by noise, my camera is really noisy which usually makes them look up and stare right at me for a second or two then they go back to what they are doing. Its only this year that they are out early enough that I've been able to get pics and...

Thanks for the feedback Kodiac Qc, I'm not good at pp so do as little as possible, would adjusting mid tones bring the brightness down?

I've been watching this family of Badgers on our farm for several years but have never been able to photograph them in daylight so only watched via trailcams. For the last few weeks I've had a routine of putting peanuts out around 5.30pm every night and now they are out from 6pm onwards enabling...

I wonder if that's what happened in my garden yesterday, I came across a Goldfinch in my peg tub in the garden (as you do) so I got it out and put it in my neighbours hedge or my dog would have got it. It certainly wasn't looking very healthy and didn't survive, I assumed it was a fledgling...

Seeing them on here now I'm going to give you my opinion, I don't think they look right which could actually be down to my rubbish pp, I spend a lot of time with these little fellas and they are soft and fluffy so I think I prefer the softer look. I prefer this softer one of the two together

This evenings efforts, I sharpened them, or tried, any better? 1 2 3

Well guess what I purchased in town this morning Carlos, what a coincidence!! I have a chalk board of sorts and at the mo I have "Athene Noctua" chalked on it (latin name for Little Owl), I was trying to think of something witty but couldn't, anyway three more from yesterday..... 1 2 3

Thanks all for taking the time to comment :) Kodiak Qc - I can see what you mean but the trouble is it's a very tall hedgerow, overgrown with a lot of ivy so it's nice when the sun is going down and creating that sparkly yellow on the leaves but otherwise it can be a bit flat, dark and gloomy, I...
