Chaffinch bathing. Corney title eh ?
One from half an hour ago. The light is much better with a few leaves off. Trouble is they are coming down whilst taking shots and some are those big yellow hazel ones which can really mess a shot up.
Can't get in and out of the hide to move them as it spooks the birds
D7000
Nikor 70-300.mm
640 ISO 125th @f8
Slight crop. Contrast down in camera EV-1 stop.
Levels in Paint Shop Pro Nothing else No sharpening
Forgot to neat image it so may be a bit noisy. Great tits tail taken out. Thanks for comments on deer pic.

Beautiful detail throughout. As for the title, I think chaffinches are very under rated birds and this is indeed a bathing beauty.
