Hi all,

Here is a few I got today from Pennington Flash, We got a bit of sunshine which helped with the shutter speeds but there still not as sharp as I would like.

Could anybody ID this 1st one for me, I have checked my books but Cannot get an ID. Also added some other shots from today.

Update: thanks for the ID Sandra

Feel free to comment,critique and offer advice

Thanks

Matt

It's a male reed bunting coming into breeding plumage (his head will soon be all black). Nice shots!

I think they're pretty sharp! Nicely composed images, good job.

Thats a nice set Matt, always difficult with light there so you have done really well.

Thanks Marco, I do tend to plan my days out there when it's sunny and by the time I'm there the clouds roll in!

Great set. Love the expression on the pheasant.

Thanks Mick, It is a funny one lol!
