Robin Remote
I know this picture isn't perfect but I just wanted to show what can be done with the remote I reviewed on here.... http://www.yophotographer.com/page.p...384#post121384
I set the camera up on a tripod. Put it 3 feet away from the feeder and waited. Robin landed, but landed on the left side of the picture... inconsiderate little thing. As my camera was set up middle for diddle it didn't get the beak sharp.
However, not to bad for my first remote Robin

Is that using the wireless function or were you hiding in the hedge with the clicker?
I only have a clicker but I live next to a primary school so I wouldn't dare leave my camera unattended in the garden or a badly aimed football would surely find it.

Wireless. I sit on my decking (or go indoors at sit at the dining room table) and wait..... and wait... and wait... and wait. Took a good 15 minutes for that to land

Nice remote Robin Dave, but you are going to need another camera and remote to get a shot of the first bird that lands on your camera that 3 feet from your feeder
