Early this afternoon it was still heavy overcast and drizzly but there were two Red-bellied Woodpeckers on the feeder at the same time so I thought sod it I'll give it an hour with flash. This week I used the sensible 500mm rather than the 800mm I used last week which proved to be too long for this setting.
I even got a first of the fall/winter season Red-breasted Nuthatch which I thought I heard yesterday so that was a bonus.

Really nice images Mike, I guess the prime lenses help? Love the Siri tale :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, the 500PF is just right for the distance, I get more leeway to get the bigger birds in the frame. I'm hoping the RB Nuthatches stick around all winter.
