A selection of our feathered friends

[Mike.P]

I have been doing a few more bird shots lately so I thought I would share a selection and (hopefully) get some feedback.
All were taken at Blashford Lakes which is a nature reserve just outside of Ringwood.

Good set, nice to get the Nuthatch looking at you

1...too tight in the frame, other than that a pleasant enough shot.
2...A bit noisy and flat, but the light looks like it was against you.
3....white cheek feathers look blown to me.
4...Looks fine, maybe drop the exposure just a tiny amount.
5...Can`t fault it.
6...see 5
7...sitting on the fence with this one.

Oh come on ... that was ISO 6400 on a crop body with rubbish light, a large crop and no noise reduction (and I had to lift the shadows loads) so it isn't THAT bad

Otherwise I think you more or less echoed my thoughts.

Thanks.

Yeah but that redshank makes up for your failings with the nuthatch........
