Your suggested camera settings make a lot of sense, as I've already seen today in a short test. Unfortunately, the window with the Kestrels is in the shadow for much of the day, the sun will reach their window only at 10:30 a.m., and the birds are not so active in the evening. I've just e-mailed to your address with the raw file attached. Just as you say: it's fun to experiment with my options. My need for finding a long-distance solution isn't urgent, since I visit this wetland only about once per month. Still, it would be nice to get better photos of wading birds.Best, Stefan (alias HermitIbis)</blockquote>
