Must of been very high and massive zoom to get a close up of a Wagtail, they're tiny things. 
 
So not much could of been done tbf

When I use to be far away from birds I would zoom and crop so the bird seemed closer.  
It takes hours to get good pictures of birds, hours of sitting still with your camera ready.  
I think they are good steve, as they were just taken quickly

Spent a few hours lying in a doorway to get this    
  
 
I know these are classed as "Un-natural" in the wildlife photography scene but these are a few I took of a Male bullfinch on one of our feeders.    
 
  
  
 
I absolutely love this shot. 
 
  
 
I've got loads of pictures of birds if anyone wants to see them

All but the Ostrich were taken with a tamron 70-300 walking around a nature reserve near here, got a hell of a lot of pics that were awful, but liked quite a few of them as well. 
 
The hawk was on someones hand about a foot away, got that picture as my background currently

Ive got two but they are all similair.  
 
  
 
  
 
That is all I have as the rest were bad because of the flash    
It's really hard to focus on something that is black and in the dark, I was just clicking and hoping that it was right
