Harry Ate MY Perch!!!!!
Discussion
Snack time down at the weir!
D70 180mm at F4 1/500th and 1/1000th at ISO200 and cropped (a 300mm would be nice so I've bought a lottery ticket today!)
I'm reasonably pleased with this - though he could possibly be a little sharper in the first one, but the perch was flapping about (well would you be happy being someone's lunch?)
Edited to get the detail right

Ron,
Is there a spesific reason why you used ISO200? You could have used 100 and still had plenty of speed with a 180 lens. Just curious as my camera has only ever taken 1 photo that wasn't ISO 100. I reach for a support before I turn the ISO dial. It would be interesting to hear other peoples opinions on this too.

I think you'd need a microscope to spot any difference in noise between ISO 100 and 200. I normally use 400, set it to 200 for a party and got a bit of camera-shake, so I'm now back to 400.
At this point someone - probably a Canon owner
- may post a 1,000% blow-up showing a few specks, but no-one normally looks at a photo that way. I prefer eyeballs to oscilloscopes! 
Thanks guys!
Yes - if the '70 would go to 100 I would have been there but Graham is right: 200 is as low as us Nikonian Dinosaurs get
As to "reasonably"... Well there's always room for better! Look out for my Ducklings tomorrow, when I've processed them!
In truth, I am dedicated to the dream that I will take one good photograph in my life. I am still working on that one!
And as you liked the first two so much I will treat you to the perch's demise. This is the full frame at 180mm, just so you can see that I didn't have to crop too much. Clearly I owe "Harry" for his great pose!!!

Not all of us live in Sunny Spain!
I never (ok VERY rarely) use a tripod, it's just not practical. Today I've used ISO 100,200,250,320,400,640,800 and 1600!

I don't believe you!

just buy one of these
www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=58714&is=REG
and your ISO 200 D70 is ISO 25. not bad for £10

You mean it gives you the speed (slow) of ISO 25, but it doesn't give the reciprocal increase in quality.
