I will have a think about that one.I'm in awe of your shots. You must have some good techniques to get such a wide variety of birds .
It would be interesting to have a few summaries in the talk photography section of where & how you do it
whilst most of us are just happy to get the bird wholly in the frame and in focus ... you also get the starburst, the eye contact and the open beak. Superb!.... I just twisted a bit to get the tip of the birds wing against the sun
To be fair it's a bit of a cheat you set your lens to focus at 3' manually set f10 a shutter of about 1/1600whilst most of us are just happy to get the bird wholly in the frame and in focus ... you also get the starburst, the eye contact and the open beak. Superb!
I try "You come this way but once enjoy it"Crikey, you don't half get about, a fabulous variety.
The swallow in flight is the best one - partly because I know how hard it is photograph them. I have never got one yet - partly because at my local park I never see them.Dinner time offeringView attachment 408401
Thank you. I'm lucky to have them in my garden also on the Malvern Hills and when we go away with the camper we tend to get them on different camp sites. One of my favourite birds for checking the tracking abilities of camera's.The swallow in flight is the best one - partly because I know how hard it is photograph them.

Wow those are great - sadly there is only one place near me where I see them and even then they are a long way from me. I would like to find some nests so I can get photos as they leave the nestsThank you.

Try some of the local farms near you they love farm buildings and tend to like telegraph lines close to where they nest. The one site we stayed at they were nesting In the office doorway just above your headWow those are great - sadly there is only one place near me where I see them and even then they are a long way from me.

That is an idea - although I am a bit of distance from any farms. Hopefully next summer.Try some of the local farms near you they love farm buildings and tend to like telegraph lines close to where they nest. The one site we stayed at they were nesting In the office doorway just above your head
