Three Tits + some more!
Long Tailed Tits
What a day ! had my first real session at the garden feeders today, through the room window. Will take about a week to process them all.
Got some good stuff on House Sparrow, Siskin, redpoll, Woodys, Nuthatches, Cole, Marsh, Blue Great,Chaffinches, Blackbird, Yellow hammer, Robin, Dunnock and these little guys.
Had 11 coming throughout the day. There are 7 on a fat ball in front of these, awaiting their turn.
What a pain though, the left one is out of focus, the right is a bit better and the middle one ok. Can't win em all!
D200 Sigma 100-300 mm
EV down 1
iso 640
180th @f7
Levels/gamma and resize/resharp in PSP7
Sorry- blurred great tit tail taken out of top right corner
About 65% of full frame.

Can't wait to see the rest from today's shoot then. Minor nits as you mentioned, otherwise a nice overall image.

Nice! What are the odds on getting three LTT's in one frame and no LT showing?! I'm looking forward to having a go at these again in nesting season.

your garden never ceases to amaze me John :smile: This is a lovely shot, a shame about the LH bird but just one of those things. Still a very nice composition. You just need to cut down all the trees and bushes in the background now. :biggrin:

Love these John, especially the first image - it so comical to me :biggrin:
They are such sociable birds the trio expresses this so nicely.

I don't think the DOF issue detracts at all.
