Lens, I switched between sigma 150-600 and my Nikon 70-200 2.8
Not much cropping required, birds are quite close I'd guess between 3/4 metres, except the Jays, but as this was a new set up,
only done yesterday, John is going to work on getting them less shy and moving things a bit closer, it did take a while for them
to settle long enough to get the pictures, but patience won
 
Looks like a good trip, a good variety and some lovely perches. You might need to keep an eye on the white balance, these have a fairly strong yellow cast to them. I had a look at the Goldie in LR and using the pipette on the white collar on the neck reduces the yellow cast as well as adding some magenta to the tint.

Great selection Ingrid, looks like a good location. :)

Cheers Roger, I will be going back sometime soon, apparently the variety changes and John is trying some different ideas
like a buzzard feeding area

Good set but I love the GSW and redleg. Two birds I could never imagine getting together in one image.

Pure chance Jan, I was concentrating on the GSW and suddenly the redleg hopped up
Cheers :)

Thanks Mark

In the main hides the perches are 3 to 4 metres away so the 70-200 is fine, it was really only the Jays that
were further off that the 150-600 was necessary for, but talking to John today (yes I'm going back soon ;))
he is working on getting them closer to the hide they come to by the pond
 
Cool - as long as they're hand tame by the 19th July Im fine.... ;)
 
Thought you were going to BWC on 19th July ?
