    Default Wind-blown Blackbird

    This little chappie was in the churchyard of St Laurence's Church. He was darting all over the place so I set the camera to take multiple photos in the hope that I would get at least one photo in focus and in shot. It turned out that I didn't set it to multiple but extremely luckily managed to get this one good shot. Luck was about that day!
    Mind you, you should have seen me trying to take close-ups of roses in the wind... not easy

    The equipment I use is a Canon 30D with Sigma 50-500mm lens. I also have a garden hide from which I take most of my pictures.

    I know, it's all my fault for not being around for a while, but in my case, it's a matter of not taking enough of the tablets ... but I understand your problem anyway
