I know - Aren't I a naughty boy ! But its far better than being full frame with only half the bird in focus.! I,ve just proved it a few minutes ago with some drinking Siskins.
Old camera by the way. :smile: The bunny is permanent I think !
Cheers

I always love the feather detail on a snipe. There may be 40 shades of green, but there are far more of brown. A lovely shot, but it does look as though it needs a very slight cw rotation to me.
