Larking about on the net because outside it's a night in gales or a buzzard.

You're just a bunch of bustards really.

All of these puns are making me feel a bit under the feather, so I think it's about time for me to swiftly buzzard off and go to get some sleep. Let me know wren this is all over, and hopefully I'll see you all in the moorhen.

Just seen the thread.... from a photographic point of view.... Doesn't look sharp to me but that could just be the lens....also looks slightly underexposed. Focus should be on the eye, which you may have done... just can't tell as nothing looks sharp.

Sorry folks, Charlie won the pun contest a page ago with the ptarmigan one.

Back to photography:

I know, I was being sarcastic ๐Ÿ™‚

just can't tell as nothing looks sharp

I know.. I know they're rubbish photos - I'm still learning and this is just me wandering around by my house waving my long one fully extended at a few birds.

Focusing on the eye is hard, focusing on the eye is hard - at effective 600mm hand held I'm lucky if you hit the bird at all. So far I've learned some things:

1) results are not as sharp at full zoom even if you shoot at 1/2500
2) wildlife photography is hard
3) the nice pics you see in magazines and stuff are the result of a) hiding in hides for hours waiting for the birds to come reasonably close, b) having a tripod and c) having really expensive kit.
4) my camera can under expose in flat light with snowy conditions.
