Start the Year

Hi

Started my 2007 bird hunt :) which is not going too bad considering the light is dire here at the moment and we are not even into the end of the first week of the New Year

Here are a selection so far

Nice Bull finch capture Rich. Looks like he has bitten off a bigger seed than he can chew.

A little late with the reply, but these images are absolutely stunning, Rich.

That bunting takes the prize for me! The Bullfinch a close second! Nice captures.

Prime 400 or 500mm lens?

A wonderful set considering the weather we've been having. After careful consideration I have decided that the second blue tit (fluffed up) is my favourite (but I reserve the right to change my mind when I look at them again :confused:).
