Iain wrote:One today not cropped just brought close with penuts. Very nice Iain ...what lens? Jays seem to be able to spot peanuts from miles away. I put a scoopful periodically in the bird house and within minutes a Jay will have swooped in, swallowed a dozen and flown away. Back again and again. What amazes me is how they register the presence of peanuts that have been added to a normally empty bird house. Do they they have a photographic memory that can be recalled to compare with current situation? A sort of spot the difference test? Interestingly, if I put kibbled peanut in the house, they don't come!! Obviously want whole red peanuts,

In the hide it's as easy to use a bean bag or just rest the lens on the window sill; outdoors, technique and VR get the job done, I know some people use Wimberlys and other aids, if were to use a support it would be a simple monopod. It looks like you all had a grand time and Robert, I am surprised you were able to make it through the day's outing without taking a nap after traveling over night. The company was so refreshing and exciting any tiredness evaporated, the concentration of trying to get half decent shots against the odds overcame tiredness, that said, Eric's driving was so sedate on his way back home, following him I almost pulled into a lay-by for a snooze! That all changed when we hit the roundabout near his home, it was a bit like following Lewis Hamilton for the last mile!!! LOL Enjoyed the photographs and the information on equipment used. I appreciate being able to benefit from someone else's experience with the hope of increasing my own abilities. Well it won't be me, that's for sure, right now a long lens is a very long way down my wish list. I reckon a 600mm on DX (900mm equivalent) is pretty well a minimum with my field craft, but I also need a patient friend who can recognise a common bird from a special, rare bird, because I am pretty well bird illiterate. It helps a lot to know what you are taking pictures of. With plants/flowers I have a germ of an idea, but birds...

It's a pity we can't supply food incentives to waders. We wouldn't need 600mm! Attachment: 8B9B3683-DCBD-408E-B105-E6E132442A25.jpeg (Downloaded 25 times)

Incredibly, the stripes on the lawn behind the crow gave 1/2 stop difference. Attachment: 22B3E4F9-F556-48F9-BFEE-37B6746B699A.jpeg (Downloaded 20 times)
