I've been loading images into my new website when I came across this one from a couple of years ago: A flock of Dusky Woodswallows on a cool autumn morning.

Canon 400D, EF400mm f/5.6, tripod, ISO400, f/9, 1/640, quite a large crop.

Cheaper by the what...?

A very unusual image Simon!
I guess is very hard to have them all seen at your lens at the same time! Great image and very funny seen so many birds sharing the same perch.

[Nate Chappell]

That's really a terrific image Simon, the curve of the perch and that many birds, what a spectacle, congrats.

[Ken Watkins]

An excellent capture the birds seem very happy all sitting together. It is not very often you get a chance like this and you have made very good use of your opportunity! I love it!

[Arthur Morris]

13 of 16 good head angles is not bad. EXP is spot on. You might try a Gaussian blur of about 40 on the branches. A single branch for a perch would have been ideal as that second branch is a bummer.

[Stu Bowie]

All sitting cozy together. I like your comp with the perch curved through the image. Very well spotted and captured Simon.

Great for the crop! I long to see this spectacle myself. Even though I have lots of these guys living nearby, I am yet to witness it. Cute factor and well done indeed!

Cheers
