I do not have a suitable lens for birds so do not shoot them.
Over the last two weeks I have had a Jay coming ito my small garden to take food from my feeder.
I never knew that they ran straight down 70 degree branches with out using their wings at all, the speed is astonishing.
as is their fast acrobatic flight within the granches of a tree. Quite unlike the clumsy jackdaws who come to feed.
To day he broudgt a friend who watched him feed from the higher branches, but was too shy to join in.
Perhaps I do need a lens.
Nice one, never seen that before.Treecreeper feeding a chick. Sorry it's not sharp, it all happened very quickly in front of me.

That combination performed well at those settings
A few of todays, (and I have been working so) the Heron was from an early dog walk and the others a lunch break with no lunch for me.
