I noticed yesterday that we had a few Siskin about again. Decided to ignore the reds this morning (well almost!) & concentrate on getting a shot of the Siskin. We also have a couple of Greenfinch that have turned up. The Jay was hanging about too. I think it was trying to entice its young to come for some food.

Cheers. Not easy to take when you have 5 reds clattering about all over the hide roof & jumping over the lens hood as they run along the windowsill.:shrug: Life can be hard!:LOL::LOL:

Aye, its no easy being me!
We have a new squirrel too. She arrived this afternoon & by the looks of her was about to give birth. I left her to get some food in peace as she seemed very nervous. Not like the normal lot.:LOL:
 
Beautiful sharp as a needle Sawman, whats your set up there? would love a few shots like that here as quite a few Siskin visit the garden but don't want any shots of them hanging to a feeder. (y)

Cheers. I have a 2x2 post into the ground & from that the branch you see extends about 4 feet. Half way along I screwed a hook & hung a feeder.
That branch has held squirrels & all sorts while I took their pics.

Yes I built a hide in the woods. As to the lens. That was a 300 I used there at maybe 5ft distance. Ask away & I will do my best to help you.
