Shooting birds!

Trying my hand at a difficult discipline.  John Baker and Alan Bastin were kind enough to let me gatecrash a photo session they'd organised photographing woodland birds in flight.  I've always enjoyed nature and would love to have more time to sit in a hide and watch/photograph wildlife in all its forms.

A new camera at Christmas prompted me to give this genre a go!  A helluva lot to learn - and I threw away 99.9% of today's efforts!

However, one or two seemed to work - to a certain degree!  Still not up to the very high standards of the boys - but it's a start!  Now that I've a better idea about how to go about this - I am determined to give it a go in the back garden henceforth!

Some of the shots!

Blackcap?


Yeah!!  Blue Tit in flight!!!


Another Blue Tit in flight!


Feisty Robin seeing off a Blue Tit.


OK!  So it's a "bird on a stick"!  So what!


Poised for flight!  I missed the moment!!  Pooh!


A bit "busy" - and it's another Blue Tit in flight!
I will keep practicing!!
