Garden Birds
29th November 2010
In: Photo Shoots
I have been a bit busy recently and haven't been able to get out with the camera as much as I would like. I took the opportunity over the last couple of weekends to hide in the garden shed and have another go at photographing some garden visitors.
Now that winter is starting to bite the leaves are pretty much gone from the tree which gives the birds less places to hide on their way to the feeders. Here are some of my favourite shots from the sessions.

Greenfinch - Carduelis chloris

1/500s @ f11 ISO 400

Ring Necked Parakeet - Psittacula krameri
Canon EOS 7D with 300mm F4 and 1.4x extender
1/250s @ f5.6 ISO 640

Blackbird - Turdus merula
