Male Redstart.
One of my birdwatching friends knocked on the door to tell me there was a male redstart in my garden. It had moved on when I got out. Just to say that is the earliest ever in my time with birds. Whether its good or bad news I,m not sure.Also found two Kingfisher nests and a dipper - a Rbin on eggs and a Blackbird so thigs are moving- and moving early.
This shot is from an earlier session. I have to say I,m not keen on the plain backdrop as you would expect. - but no choice without sticking painted cards up etc and I,m not into that.
Nikon D200
Sigma 50-500mm
Tripod/ hide
About 70% crop.
250th sec @f9
800 ISO
Dust bunnies removed,usual PP in PSP7.
Thanks for all who looked and commented on the Bullfich shot.
Appreciated.
Cheers
