..and it's a lovely shot of it as well.

Usually, I fold when I find a bird I have not photographed before and the shot comes out lousy

Well done, they are so difficult to capure on "film".
Incidentally it was 380mm!.

thats the thing with the 100-400L lens ..its very easy too move it in 10-20mm without noticing.
i thought all my pictures were on full zoom , i could have zoomed up a little nearer ... doh :'D

thanx for pointing it out , i will check next time :t:

Hi Andy,

You've obviously turned pro as you spend more time out the camera than you do your day job! LOL. Nice pics, I'd keep you hand in with the day job though!

Lovely pics Andy. Bullfinch always difficult, great shots. Love the one of the Thrush eyeing up his next worm, brilliant & the Woodpigeon is crystal clear.

Rod.
