Nice number five for me, well captured.

Thanks Ed

My Nuthatch should also have commented on the exposure time, in this case 1/100'th of a second, not bad for 500mm hand held

(note - I've deliberately kept the sharpening gentle, these are woodland birds in woodland light)

Numbers 2 & 5 for me

But as allways I would have loved to have any of them in my collection

Sharpening these more would have been a waste - they look superb as-is

Lovely shots Nick

Britain's Got Talent is crying out for a talking nuthatch

Lovely set of Photographs. I particularly like the 4th and 5th shot.

Thats some skill hand holding at a FL of 500mm

Thanks Andy/Gregles/Stewart/Garrie I was pleased to get the nuthatch, they are are a lovely subtle coloured bird from the pastel end of the pallette, so easy to get wrong in pp.

Other than the first (which had the angles helped), these are uncropp'd

Excellent advert for the setup, although it would take me, a mrere mortal, quite some time to achieve those shots with that combo!

A cracking set all round.

The combo is more difficult to afford than it is to use, but it can pull some nice shots.

Interesting 'spray' of trails in No.4?

Ahh - suet dust I think, nearing the end of that packet so my mix of suet/worms and seed contains a bit of dust to spray.

Snashing set Nick, we don't often see these up here, at least I don't. I'm going to go against the flow and say #2 for me, I prefer the pose and I like that the top of the log is the same colour as Nuthatchies back.

Verry nice. Mmmmmmm. Maybe I should investigate the e2.0 with the 300mm 2.8.

A beautiful series Nick. I would have been over the moon if I had taken any one of them. The Nuthatch is a bird that is still on my "to find" list, must try harder.

Thanks for sharing.
