hi all hope you like just a few i have managed since having the nikon d300 still a long way of what i know i can get,

On a non technichal basis the robin is best for me, purely for the look of i've caught you
On a technical basis the last one although slightly more DOF would have been good to bring the tail and feet into sharp focus
Good set all the same

cheers joe, the lens is a sigma 150-500mm apo dg hsm, finding it ok i know it needs lot of light but it needs to be stopped down to f8 f10 to get the best out of it, the 170-500mm apo dg is better at 500mm and is sharper at f6.3, but has no os/vr built in.

Some very nice shots there, the Martin in flight is a great capture, those little blighters are fast.
