Eric if you look closely at the head of the Blue Tit ist is slightly fuzzy compared to the tail which is pin sharp. These birds are twitchy!

Quality is remarkable at wide open 600mm and very high ISO! As JK said back of head not quite there but eyes are sharp and great setting.

I don't know how close Iain was to the bird, but assuming he was 10m away, the dof is only 30mm at that aperture. With a bird that's 120mm I reckon Iain has got focus spot on. Birds do twitch around the head and that's why I like to use 1/1000+ shutter speeds. But frankly a bit of blurr doesn't matter, when the overal image is so pleasing.

I do use a bean bag when in a hide to keep things steady.
