Goldfinch and Collared Dove

[Trev4]

I've been trying to get a decent shot of Goldfinches off the feeders for some time, but have given in now and am posting some feeder shots.
They ignore the branches I put around them, prefering the nearby bushes to hide in, in between feeding.
The light was poor for these, ISO 1600, f 5.6, 1/500 at 370mm, at that they needed a lot of PP to bring anything out thats half decent so am not sure if they are good enough to post for comment. What do you think

1)

2) Messy eaters

3) A regular visitor looking to clean up anything left over, so he's been included.

Thanks for looking

C & C Welcome

One can only assume you have not read any of that info I sent you then Trev :nono: It is a pain when they dont do as you wish, as feeder shots go and considering the lighting they are pretty good . At least you got Goldies which is a plus Expect to see some of a higher standard when it brightens up

Thanks Rich, and yes, I'm slowly working through it takes time to sink in though

Nice shots Trev,they are well fed anyway.

Trev there were loads of them at Belvide, I managed one shot from the far hide with around 50 of them on the path feeding

Best bet is to put a twig in a feeder port and wait till they land on it.

It's a bummer when you can't catch them off the feeders, but that apart, nice shots Trev - well done mate.
