A beautiful picture. Funny comment yesterday. The picture looks bright but the settings indicate the opposite. 99,99% of my pictures are "M" mode.
Deleting files is a necessary evil for every bird photographer. I try to reduce the number of shutter releases but I cannot resist sometimes. The sparrow hawk files were 400+.

It does appear this Sports Mode is working out well for you D. Great pose and head turn you caught this handsome chap in. Excelent focus, dof, colors, lighting, and detail. Top-notch D!!!!

Nice one D, I like the way it is looking into the feeder.

A lovely feeder capture, Delia! Most of our Chaffinches leave for the winter but we have a couple of males this winter. They never come to the feeders but hang around on the periphery.

Seeing these always makes me feel nostalgic for the UK! Thanks for posting, Delia! And yes, more info on Optus. Our surveys are dragging on into January so it will be a few more weeks till I have more time.

I like the angle on this one Delia, well taken. its funny how they come and go, they have disappeared from my garden too at the moment.
