I`ve been doing the same today in our garden, but results werent as sharp as these.I think due to the angle I had to shoot from, the flash was causing detail to be lost by flattening out shadows in the feathers.Going to have to try upping the flash power and trying again when its dry (next month by the look of the weather!! ).

Hi Mark, I was using the flash in TTL mode. Have tried it in other modes but TTL seems to work best. I have also used it in High Synch mode but you need a shutter speed of 1/250 or above for it to work in High Synch which I wasn't getting today as it was so dull.
