Love the colours on this shot JR, pin sharp too! When they get this wet do they hang about whilst they dry or do they just fly off?

Nick. :toast: :toast: :wavey: :smile:

Thanks Nick
No most species clear off to find some shelter where they can preen and dry off. The only ones I have seen stay and do it are Chiffs and Willow warblers. Don't know why- oh, - and Wrens do it sometimes too.
Cheers

Thanks Paul
I think maybe its the sharpest pic from the pool yet (and with cheap gear :wink: :wink: :wink: )
And 125th second !! Thanks for your interest.

Yes, that really is sharp. Nothing wrong with using 125th either, certainly not on a still subject.

The detail in this is simply stunning! You can see every feather! And the colours are lovely too. You'd think they'd get chilled getting this wet, but I guess it's only the outside feathers that get soggy?

The super fine detail the D7000 captures is amazing, John. Love the shot too, the water has a lovely feel to it.

Crikey looks like this was in it when it got washed away the last time John. Love it though :wink:
