And my Dunnock makes it 3!
This chap appeared on a nearby rock as I sat watching some surfers yesterday. I usually have my camera set to f/8 which would have improved the DOF some what, oh well there's always next time :smile:

30D, Canon 100-400 @ 360mm, f/5.6

A nice looking shot, shame about the DOF but its not the end of the world. It may be my monitor but I'm seeing a slight glow around the bird.

Lovely pose and the yellow lichen really sets it off nicely. The lack of DOF doesn't bother me but then I'm no expert in bird photography like many of you. No halo or glow is visible to me.

Very nice Dunnock, like the perch, Sharp where it matters so the DoF is not a problem for me..

Yup, very nice. Good to isolate it from usual busy surroundings. Good skills :toast:
