D3 + 600mm AFS II + 1.4 Conv.
1/80 @ f5.6.
ISO: 400
Ex Comp -0.3EV.
WB: Auto.
Spent a bit of time at the casing heap as I left work this evening.
There is generally a bit of activity as its surprising what food source is created within and underneath all the old tyres.
A surrounding compound on an adajacent area had collected its share of shredded bits of polythene and Mrs Blackbird was making full use of it.( Forgot to say the nest is now good for 100 years+ )
