Great shots, love the Blackbird one, how the light comes through his beak really makes the shot

Zounds
You have the same problem as me when taking photos of birds and thats the background. I have forgotton how many bird photos I have taken only to be ruined by the habitat they are in. The smaller the bird the harder is the capture photographic wise. Taking photos of swans etc is relatively easy as they stand out so much, but when small birds are in shubbery the camouflauge of the bird makes things twice as tough. Yet getting a photo of the bird in a different setting is entirely wrong.

On that basis the last photo must be the best, I have to say I find the other pictures not quite up to the same standard, this may be somewhat due to over editing, I don't know. Unless you are there when the photo is taken, one can only go by the picture that has been posted

As usual I try to understand the difficulty in taking some pictures and to give an honest opinion in what I think. Some may find it helpful others may not.

Ps can't get hold of other code for you know what as my contact says the code is different now, the latest edition code is not available on the internet. Sorry
