Great shots Ian, where did you go for these? I'll probably read where in another thread

I particularly like the Nuthatch

Is there a BOP shortage? hehe

They were all taken at The Lodge in Sandy, The RSPB head office went with JoeT and Ladybird.

I was just going to say the Nuthatch shot would have been better with less noise in the background, but after reading the exif i think i will let you off P.S Blackcap shot for me mate

 

[Duckydoodle]

First two for me though all good shots

 

[Ladybird]

Very good Ian!!!! I think I got a similar robin bathing shot, not that close though! Poor old 300mm lens did struggle! I need a big one like yours!

 

[IanC_UK]

Thanks guys

LB did none of the bunnies come out ?

 

[Ladybird]

Thanks guys

LB did none of the bunnies come out ?

They did! got some lovely ones, Just not had time to process them, was stupidly busy cooking and cleaning yesterday in prep for family visit, and clearing up gardening and washing, ironing etc today! Rubbish! and to top it all back to work tomorrow after two weeks off on holiday with nasty weather! (grumble over!) Hope to get them done tomorrow evening. x x x
