I agree with Martyn, a lovely set. Thanks for sharing Mark.

Great images Mark!
What sort of distance were you from Redpoll?
Also, what lens were you using.

I am about to dip my toe into bird photography, my budget will only stretch to the Sigma 150-500mm, no fancy L glass for me! The Sigma should be good to practice with first though.
 
Stunning, I agree about removing the rear branch though.
Were they taken with the Sigma 120-300 from your signature?
 
Thanks for taking time to coment everyone. All these were taken with the Sigma 120-300 and 1.4tc attached as it always is:D Although i dont always use it at 420mm. I think all these were with the D300 but i went to the D700 a few minutes later as the light faded and the ISO had to be pushed up. I reckon these were at about 2-3 meters. Due to the slower shutter speeds i just havent got quite the sharpness in the individual feather that i can get with this lens at faster speeds.

Cracking set of shots, but #3 wins with the cleaner background.

Nowt wrong with the Sigma 150-500 Dougie, just needs a bit of getting used to if it's your first really long telephoto.
 
A very good detailed set Mark.
 
That's a great set though I am a fan of the clean backgrounds so number 3 for me......

For me these are perfectly sharp not over done but still showing plenty of detail.
