The photo was shot from about 4m with a 400mm lens then cropped, I use this and shorter lenses when tethered to my laptop to get up close :-

Fantasic.

I saw something new today in the garden couldnt identify it, it had a flash of pink I hope it stick around so I can get some shots of it.

[Pesty]

lol no it was smallish I 'think' it was a chafinch. But I know nothing of these things so it could be anything. I rekon Id know a jay though.

I only noticed it because I heard a new song it was really loud looked over and there was this new bird. I never get anything exotic.

The robins from when I sarted this thread dissapreard which actually upset me(yes Im a big girl) the blue tits dont come around too much any more despite having juicy worms for them

[Pesty]

Rich they are awesome.

Has it folded its wings in knowing its going to land in teh right place on that last one?

[Pesty]

Finaly something exotic. Ok not for you lot but I have only ever seen blue tits,robins and bloody starlings so its exotic for me.

pics not brill and taken through glass because I can't open the wondow where they go.


edit fs just notice the other one hididing at the back of the feeder

There are only pics of the goldfinches. Only took them because they are something new(to me). Never ever seen anything other than blue tits or robins so I got a little excited.
They are really pretty.

Oh apart from the pink thing I caught a breif glimpse of a few weeks ago but it has never came back.

Nice Phil, you've improved loads since the beginning of this thread and also inspired some fantastic photo's along the way.

Thanks,

They are quite under exposed I will work on that. Expect loads of goldfinch pics of various brightnes in the coming days

I saw them in that tree a few weeks ago so bought some seed they eat. never saw them back until today so it was a bit of a rush for the camera which i have not used for months but at least I managed to possition the feed to get close.

[Pesty]

Pesty, still a Goldfinch but just a youngster. The red head will develop.

Thanks.

Id never even seen one before now that tree is always full of them. They love that seed. I just don't know how they manage to put so much of it away.
