they are cute little things - hard to catch still (well i find it anyway) If you just get that wee bit too close they are off!

Nice Gary! I'm finding a lack of birds around just now for some reason.

I think they go into hiding because of the moult. If I go seagull watching there are hundreds of people everywhere on the beach and there is so much growth on the trees and the gardens the are supposed to be full of flowers, weeds in mine, so your right all in all the birds are hard to see.

Using my combo of crop sensor camera, lens FD set at 600mm and a 1.4 TC, plus a crop in PS. It's not surprising it is a bit softDarn cure little fellow
but a tad too soft!

Well done, it's not easy there ... having now released the windows there is the high reedbed to cope with as well as the awful light.
I took a few shots yesterday and then to add to it the wardens came and started banging in metal stakes or something and frightening everything away!

Thanks Gramps, it was cloudy and raining on Sunday and that probably helped with the light. I was at max reach with 600 + 2xTC and remote release to make slow shutter feasible.

Neither Daniel, it is the trade off with using a TC on a 600mm lens, sharpness or getting closer.
If you look on Flickr with this image I believe it is sharper than is shown on the forum.

Saw a heron today - think it was a younger one - not my usual one as smaller plus it didn't seem sure what it was doing!
took off from the water and landed here in someone's garden!
then took off again and I though it was going to the other building but turned and into the trees
