Streptopelia turtur

Hi All,

Long time no post! Hope you are all well.

Not been doing much photography recently, but when I found that there were a pair of Turtle doves visiting the garden I just had to try and get some photos.

Got a week off work now, so hopefully I'll get the chance to work with them again.

Techs:
D200, 500mm f4 lens
1/160 sec @ f5.6
200 ISO
Tripod

Couple more shots on the blog, I made this one slightly darker than the version on the blog, as someone mentioned that that one was a little light. It's difficult to tell on the laptop!

C and C most welcome, thanks for looking!

I like this one a lot. Lovely setting and a nice low point of view.

Brilliant shot Dawn - I've never clapped eyes on one myself - shot really does the bird justice
