I have been watching these Marsh Tits at the nest for 6 days now gradually Moving in my equiptment, Finaly ready for the last peace of the gigsaw, the camera, and its all systems go.
I took a series of shots as the birds were leaving the nest hole, as you can see this one has been house keeping as it has a fecal sack in its beak.

Nicely done, good to see the efforts are paying off. Perhaps adjust the camera slightly so the birds are higher in the frame when they leave, thats just my personal comp preference though, obviously I don't know the limitations of the site.

Hi Dale,

Looking forward to more!
Cheers,

For me this is one of those images where all the elements are there, but the composition of the elements have not come together.
I think the main problem for me is the bird is leaveing the frame and giving a sence of to much space every where else.
Good start and I'm sure you'll get this right.
It's a good start to the project Dale, agree re the comp, using a infrared beam I would imagine is very hit and miss. Keep em coming.
