... is worth two in the bush, so I guess it follows that I was holding none.

I took this yesterday on a walk around Stratford, the bird was quite tame which was lucky as my longer lens was in the bag, its still a very heavy crop though.

*twitter* ... looks like You have been bitten by the bird bug .... fidgety and twitchy ... not the easiest creatures to catch in the frame. Bravo!

Cheers Tedz,
I always have a go when I see a bird, they are very difficult and this is the sharpest I have managed yet.
I have no idea how people like Tawny and MTS manage to get it right on such a regular basis...

Cheers for the compliment Len.

I am learning all the time, and the more I learn, the more I realize I don't know.
When I look at some of the photo's some people post, EOS, TCO, Genese, Newbloke, Tawny, Paul, Phil, Barry etc. (don't be offended if I missed you, there's loads!), I wonder if I'll ever get close to that?

This birdie was really tame as well which helped no end.
