Those are very fine and detailed images Graham. Well done, you must have been fairly close.

I can see Eric's point about habitat but once you seen one rock, you seen them all! I think there is room for a fine detail image, particularly when the bird is well situated on the focal plane, allowing very fine detail to be seen pretty well all over the bird. These would be superb images in a bird recognition book. I prefer the first example... ![]()

As you say Robert 1st pix is the best. Problem was they were very active and moving all time and almost too close with f9 DPF was problem and keeping single point focus spot on head and composing not too good with tail too near to the left. Bird photography is not easy and I was very lucky to get so near to these very active little chaps, I was looking down on them from the path round the harbour wall at low tide. The 500mm F5.6 PF lens with x1.4 is 700mm and wide open at F8, the low sun was also in my face.

Believe it or not, many successful wildlife photographers subscribe to the view that the birds or creatures should be only 1/3 of the frame. When it comes to bird identification then a full frame ('postage stamp' shot I understand they are called) is obviously more of an advantage but I like plenty of space round my birds. Which also saves me having to buy an 800mm lens. ![]() And anyway I like rocks...they aren't all the same. ![]()

Trouble was if I had paused to remove the x1.4 extender they would have seen me messing about and taken off!
