I have got a fair way to go yet before I reach 200.  Luckily, Bullfinches and Redpolls abound in my garden at this time of year, 10 Bullfinches and 30+ Redpolls in today, so getting good pics of them is no problem. I dropped on with the Water rail, a friend of mine said that he had close views at a local mere, so I went along expecting to see it from around 10-20 yds, instead the little blighter came right out from under the hide, it was so close I could not focus with my 7D and 400mmf/5.6L. I returned the next day with my 70-200f/4.I know what you mean about getting a better picture of the birds you already have, that's the challenge for me too.  Delete the older ones when you get better ones.  Thanks for your comments. Neil.</blockquote>
