Treecreeper

Went to Derwent water yesterday. Weather wasn't as bad as it could have been, but it was still pretty grey and wet. I hoped to get some spot on shots of Treecreppers and Nuthatchs, but due to the adverse conditions the results weren't as good as I had hoped. Fingers crossed for better conditions next time.

Nice photograph, as usual. Love the smooth background.

Nice. They are lovely little birds

and you caught that one well. What lens was that through?

A touch soft compared to your usual standard.
I'm assumiung it's cropped a lot?

ISO 800 as well....I think thats the first pic I've seen with the EXIF still there

Great pic though...my walk in the woods got cut short by a nasty wind and a lack of motivation!

Cheers. Sigma 300mm f2.8 as usual.

Yeah, pretty hefty crop on this one. More than I would have liked.

All my shots have the exif retained.

Yeah, the hight ISO didn't help at all. Im not 100% happy with the shot. I want to go back when its better light and get closer, get the ISO 400 or less and generally get a perfect shot if possible. Loads of Nuthatches about so I hope to get some good shots of them as well.

Great shot as usual, i quite like the composition on this one.

You should try get a few shots that can be put into wallpapers
