| | | Wales Trip
Just got back from a Wet, dark weekend in Welsh Wales! Had a great time though!
Met a real poser of a nuthatch, here's a few from the trip.
The Nuthatch shots were down to 1/2 a sec! very gloomy and wet!     
We will be back to chase those egrets though!
regards.

Lovely Nuthatch shots and no sign of camera shake that my old eyes can see, especially for a half-second exposure

That looks like a very obliging Nuthatch mate, and you've done it very proud. Those shots are bootiful! |

Lovely shots! Glad you had a good weekend
I didn't have quite so much luck on my D300 test drive this weekend, everything on my trip to Cilgerran was a bit too far away for my Bigma to deal with 
You aren't half making me lust after a decent fixed long lens...sadly I haven't won the lottery just yet and my boyfriend would complain if I bought more camera kit in favour of doing up the bathroom! Strange chap seems to think having a shower installed is more beneficial than getting good bird shots... |

Its just pure luck Nicola! I actually went with Egret shots in mind. Pauline has managed amazing shots of them from The Spinnies. I turn up and have the same problem as you, the damn birds are half a mile away! 
So sat for an hour or two infront of a tree near a couple of feeders and the Nuthatch appeared! I'm sure, in the same spot, you'd get just as good images with the bigma!
I've got my head around the fact now, I can aim to go out with an image or species in mind but also be flexible!
Keep shooting, those shots will come!
good luck.
