Those are awsome Colin - what on earth are you going to produce on a good day with decent light and a tripod ......... I can't wait - get out there again - please - fast!!! By the way I don't know how to reduce noise in the background either and I'm a bit dim with written instructions no matter how well written the explanation is ........ but I get around it if I'm really trying to rescue a shot (and these have been worth the effort believe me) by selecting just the bird when it comes back from neat image and slightly resharpening - but you have to watch it - it can be overedone!!!! Keep up the good work
