My first bird pictures

[laser_jock99]

Had a country walk today with the deliberate aim of just photographing wild birds in the hedgrows and on the fishing lake. Lens used was 80-200 zoom- mainly at the 200mm end! Even so most pictures are heavily croped as well!

#1 Moorhen panned in flight- note the blur on the reeds!

#2 My first robin

#3 My first Grebe

#4 First COOT!

#5 First Goldfinch

#6 First Chaffinch(?)

7# First Thrush

#8 First Pied Wagtail

#9 Second Robin

#10 First Unidentified brown bird!

I've also come to the conclusion I need a big, fast, autofocus piece of glass- and that twigs are a bl**dy nuisance!

second Robin is a peach of an image, BG a tad noisy, but no biggy.

Some firsts there well done

A very nice collection of 'Firsts' LJ ... ... and some of the more unusual or shy types too ...


The unidentified jobby is a female Chaffinch ...


Good start to your bird 'togging ...

Nice photos ! Your Thrush is a Song Thrush as opposed to a Mistle Thrush.
The Song Thrush has pointed spots and the Mistle Thrush has more rounder spots. Well done!
