... I love that quote, As for those last two pictures at least one of the birds took one for the team.
Tree Sparrows, Jays and Reed Bunting in your garden! I have to travel to my local reserve to see the last two and I wouldn't know where to start to find a Tree Sparrow... so I've just put all the garden implements on Ebay.
I like them all, but you've captured the distinctive red eyes of that male Sparrowhawk perfectly. Hope to see more of your shots in the future.
I have made a small hide ( Shed ) in the garden and use Nikon bodies D70 D80 D200 I am hoping to sell the D80 and Bigma 50-500 to get a D300.
My main lens is a Sigma 500mm f4.5 with a Nikon TC14E 1.4x works fine and still autofocuses fast. Manfrotto hide clamp.
Brian :
I am very lucky as I live about 200m away from a small woodland area so the Tree Sparrows, Jays and Reed Bunting come over here a free feed, I even had this little chap turn in the garden on Monday, a first for my garden
