  • A Couple of Birds

    Not my usual type of posting. These were taken today at Lydford Gorge in Devon whilst eating our picnic. The Robin is one of about 10 attempts, the little blighters dont sit still for long



    I think this one is a Jackdaw but I'm unsure

    They're all goopd captures, Mike - I especially like the second as he's looking at you straight in the eye

    Good use of the exposre compensation control I see

    Robins (first pic) are always brave little buggers - he must have been quite close.

    Best to use in the in-line original image insertion if you can, instead of thumbnails.

      Hi Ian,
      Yes the robin was about 5ft away. The others were about 10ft away on and off a bird table, as they seemed very people friendly I found my audible focus beepy thingy was great for getting them to look my way


      Unfortunately those taken down in the gorge are ok as souverniers but nothing to shout about
