Through the window +converter

[Ollie]

Excellent shots you got well done.

Don't give up on opening the window. In time the birds will get used to you. I had the same problem when I first started opening the bedroom window to photograph at my feeding station.

Wear some inconspicuous darkish clothing and sit as still as possible. The birds will soon learn you are no threat. I can even use flash on mine without spooking them after about four months of them getting used to me.

Great shots, thanks for sharing ...

Lovely shots. It just goes to show, you spend a fortune on expensive lenses, and then you get shots like this through double glazing,plus a 1.4X TC!! I can't see much evidence of any problem with taking them through the windows.Well done!

Great stuff. Definitely goes to show what is possible. I often see a bird in the garden and have to shoot through the windows to get the shot rather than miss it altogether. Nice to know it is possible to get such results! I've not had such great results yet so it is motivating to see how it can be done! Thanks for sharing

Today has been very dull and foggy around the Forth Valley so I didn't think I would get any shots today. Couldn't believe my luck when a Sparrowhawk landed on a tree in the garden. So it was through the double glazed bedroom window or nothing. I have uploaded the results on 'the Gallery'.
As I said earlier 'always worth a try'!

Well done converters is something I know nothing about, good pics and through a double glazed unit.

Think I will have to give my windows a really good clean and try again! I have found that using a tripod inside a slightly open window does work if you leave time for the birds to get acustomed to it, stand back at bit and move slowly. Never look directly at the birds.

Thanks for the kind words everyone, glad to see you enjoyed them.

I think I might have set off a spate of window cleaning!
