Light is everything. Personally, I have come to the conclusion, that anything further than 5m - 7m for birds is a stretch. And, most of the time we are applying heavy crops to get anything out of the pic. Its difficult, but you must keep on shooting until you find the happy medium. I am also starting to use bracketing to try and get my exposures better.All the best.Leon</blockquote>
