Thanks Graham, I only spent half an hour, there were a lot of misses! How I ended up with f/20 I have no Idea? I spent all Saturday photographing waterfalls, I was using f/22 a lot at ISO100, I can't understand why low ISO seems to be only a recent afterthought, I would have thought low ISO would have been easy. I don't have large ND filters for milky waterfalls. The D810 only goes down to ISO64.

Won't bore you with others as they are all fairly common birds, but I logged 24 species in 4 days on that campsite, including a little tern and 3 different woodpeckers. This chap came when light fading so a bit noisy and too slow shutter. Attachment: 3F79EBA7-67E3-416B-B691-3DF8731D5CA2.jpeg (Downloaded 16 times)

On another amusing note. Jan and I set off to visit a Chateau early one morning as it was some miles away. As we drove across deserted French country roads ( where are the French?) I saw a turtle dove on the phone wire as I drove passed. I stopped, U turned round, drove back, U turned and got th3 wife's Panasonic off the back seat. Turtle doves are very wary...probably due to being shot at! So my plan was to drive passed it again slowly, lean out of the window an let AFC do the rest. Well it moved further down the wire, so I drove further along...and it moved further along. "what I need, Jan, is for you to steer the car while I lean out the window with both hands free and we will go faster so the dove doesn't feel threatened". Off we go. I got a sort or grab shot record. (Below) But when I reseated myself and taken back the wheel ....Jan had been faithfully steering us ....on the left hand side of the road.  Fortunately no Gendarmes, farmers or other road users about...or we wouldnt have done it. But I haven't seen a turtle dove for 25years...so worth being naughty for a few minutes.
