50D, 300mm, 1/1250, F\7.1, ISO 200

I'm assuming you used the 300 f/4, right?

[Wes]

Yes sir.

Here's a few shots of mine from last weekend. The pictures are linked from Facebook, so the quality is pretty bad. But oh well, this is the quickest way for me to post.


P.S. you guys are GOOD!

Got this Fieldfare in the garden today. Normally very hard to get close to but I cut a hole in the side of my shed and snapped him through it! 400D + 300L f/4 + 1.4 TC. Av 6.3, Tv 1/200, ISO 200, fill in flash.

Just spent the morning making a little hatch for the hole - my other half wasn't happy with my saw work![]

What type of bird is that? I'm guessing a type of finch by the beak. It's colours blend really well with the surroundings.

It's a House Sparow.

It's far more exotic than the house sparrows in my garden (in Ireland). A different species where you're based?
