Well I dont know what CT would say Spencer ... but its easily on par with my quality shots!
Ive just stood for a half hour in freezing fog trying to snap a few birds in the garden .... while staying within earshot of the front door as Im waiting for a delivery... and its not been an easy task!
As you can imagine I have some wonderful shots of nice tiny blurry brown blobs ... they make your shot look superb!
Anyway, Im still jealous ... I havent managed to snap a LTT myself at all, so kudos for that!
i think its a good starter and with the ltt they will have a time that they feed.
i have about 11 fly past my garden and some do stop for a feed so this is when i get a quick shot but you have to be ready . this is normaly mid to late afternoon befor they huddle down to sleep.
keep at it and do show some more.
ps. i had a go at sun set's for a while but could'nt resist going back to the birds.
hey at least it didint fly away which is what usually happens when anything that lives and breatehs sees me coming with my camera............ if i dont have a camera in hand they will sit and let me get as close as i like...... show em a camera and they are off!
Didn't happen to me today. I walked down to the side of the river to get a shot past some swans grazing on the grass on the riverbank and one of them took offence. It puffed it's chest out and walked towards me wings outstretched hissing.
If I had been brave I would have looked it in the eye, waved my arms a bit before taking that one in a million shot... That thing about swans breaking human arms is an urban myth, right?
As it was I bricked it and made a rapid retreat. A guy further up the river bank showing his toddler kid the swans (at a safe distance) thought it was hilarious.
They do indeed seem to show up Mob handed with the other local tits. Although we're effectively in Bath we're only about 5 minutes walk form the river and then countryside. So I think I'm gonna have to have a bit of a jig around in the garden and get some proper bird feeding going.
If you hear of someone being murdered in Bath over the next couple of days it's me cos I've cut a lens shape hole in the kitchen blinds
