RE: djm34: as promised more photos :)
Birds just wonderful. Handsomely. Probably, it is difficult to catch the moment and not to frighten them, is not it? I always admire when I see pictures of wild animals and birds, such close and clearly.
must admit, I lost many shots because I was trying to get too close. It is actually rather difficult to know how close it is possible to get (and you have to assume that if you see the bird, the bird see you...).
Actually the best technique is to use a hide and camouflage and let the birds come. I did it one year and actually it did pay off (but the place is closed to public right now, might retry end of summer).
The ability to determine the best distance probably comes from experience - have already come to you, I think.
Hmm, well, then it turns out such an effective ambush on birds) However, it's probably pretty hard - to lie or sit still and wait. How long do you have to watch?
no it isn't easy, I did it only one summer (actually it was full afternoon wait under some plastic hide by 35°C pretty awful :) but it allows some very close shot of smaller birds...)
That's pretty heroic act - in such a hot weather) Super. I'll wait for your new photo.
