Thanks Chris.

You never know where you'll find them, this brood are actually in an air vent in a busy part of the site.

Fortunately they're high up!

Thanks for looking and commenting Alan.

You're almost spot on, they were waiting for breakfast to arrive!

Unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to catch that, maybe next year.

Thanks to operatorcamera and Julie for your kind comments.

operatorcamera:

I'm sorry to hear you're getting blurred shots using a similar setup.

The E510 and Bigma were mounted on a tripod for the shot, I'd forgotten that I also used the EC-14 teleconverter for this shot, the light was exceptionally good.

The exif reads: 1/320 @ F8.9, ISO 200, Exposure compensation -1.3, Focal Length = 514mm.
