Managed to catch this between sparrowhawk visits! (the bugger scared everything off and paused for a brief second in the middle of alot of branches! :bang

300mm

Female Eider ( I believe)

Male Eider

And the ever more curious robin

First real attempt at using the histogram to get the exposure correct so C&C is very welcome.

One moment was all you needed for a wonderful photo.

Well spotted and nicely captured. Maybe to clone out that RH twig as it is a distraction.

 

[akr]

Very nice capture

 

[DaiTheDragon]

Great shot, still waiting to see one of these.

Fabulous shot. We're getting a few of these down by the local river but not yet been able to capture one. I usually see them while driving. :bang:

 

[pragmatist]

A bird i always struggle with so well done

 

[Hunter87]

Thank you for the comments, It's a bird i quite often see but never get a shot I like!

I'll try cloning out that branch when i get some spare time, your right it is distracting!

It`s just me Barry putting 2 and 2 together and coming up wrong again
At least I am calling you by your correct name, you should be happy with that coming from me

 

[micloi]

Nice and sharp and taken at the right angle, not bad at all

 

[Hunter87]

Thank you for the comments! Busy uploading a few more from today, might put up the "Record" shot of the sparrowhawk that was scaring everything off!

 

[Hunter87]

Now updated origional post with a few more photos!

 

[Effjay]

All good, but the bullfinch is a cracker, quite a tough bird to get a decent shot of, you did well.

 

[stuartg]

That bullfinch is a stunner. Saw one just the other day while out on the bike but no camera with me!!!

 

[Hunter87]

Thank you for the kind comments, I'll have to try for the female now, she seems very timid!
