Great shots Martin. Were you using Luca's 300mm prime lens?

Yes, excellent photos Martin. As above, what lens was it please?

[Simpo Two]

Aha, yes I suspected it was you. I like the top one best; just wish the bird was turned to me a bit more.

At least it doesn't have a turquoise Noble in it, for which we should be grateful

I hope that means you're not selling it then?

Nesting I reckon. I took a similar photo of a blue tit this week. I think they reach down and pull out feathers with their beaks.

Great photos - puts mine to shame, but then my camera is £180!

Out of interest, with the 300mm with the 1.4 converter, how close were you to get those shots, and were they cropped at all?

Nice pics, but the thread title wrote checks your post didn't cash. Same old storey eh Martin?

About 20', and the LTTs are cropped so they are about 1/3 - 1/4 of the original size...the Robin about 1/2 - 1/3...and the Grebe is about 1/3 and taken from at least 500 yards.
