haha, remotes aren't the best thing to use with birds as there so quick but then you look like a fool sitting with your eye to the camera and your finger on the shutter lol! Its nice when you get a good result though :) Good luck!

cheers mate, will have a go with that. I was going for something similar, had the camera setup a few mtres off on a tripod, got a remote as well, but the camera turned off by the time a bird turned up! So missed the shot

Bourton on the Water isn't that far from me, love it there :cool: Awesome place in the summer. Everything is expensive, but that's what you get with it being touristy :lol:

Thanks matt :) I haven't changed my name, no so I dont know, you must be having a spazz :P haha :) and cavey, We've moved house since that picture was taken but we only have one squirrel buster feeder and its medium sized with four feeding ports, cost 18 pounds though!
I use a 300mm lens but I sat and waited with my tripod on the floor about 2 metres away from the feeder and soon the birds feel safe to come out, you've just got to have patience and not move to much, it also helps that I started using the RAW setting for my pictures and not preset as it takes away one hell of a lot of quality on my camera and since using RAW the pictures have been top notch :thumbs: hope this helps :) oh and the pictures are zoomed and cropped a little, its the best results I can achieve to make the birds look nice lol :)

How big are your bird feeders?!

I got a couple of a bullfinch in our garden the other day, the bluetits are in and out within a second, so not managed to get any of them yet.

Did you use a big lens, or are they cropped quite a lot? Or both? The bullfinch looks a lot clearer than I could manage with my 300mm

(random but have you changed your name? :lol: i could just be having a spazz and thinking it was something different last time i looked)
