Nikon D200, 500mm f/4 P, 1.4x
Manfrotto 055 and 393
f/5.6, 1/100, ISO 640
This is 2.5MP of the 10MP original.

A parent was about to feed this bird, and I did capture a sequence, but they had big focus errors. Taken in the garden of a holiday cottage in Scotland earlier this year.

Hi Ben,

This is really different, and works well. It's a shame the head area isn't that little bit sharper, but it's still a fine shot.

Cheers,

Dan.

Hello Ben.

This works for me lovely movement in the wings and nice pose to capture this young robin in.

Nice, I like this. The blur of the wings and pose is great. Nicely caught!
