Dear Photo Diary

Fast food

A coal tit taking advantage of the hospitality Chez Rutherford :)

Viewed large, this is a pretty ropey almost-100% crop, but I wanted to post it anyway because I never have any luck snapping coal tits! I've had to seriously cut back on my bird photography since I got the new kit for the business, I thought a cropped sensor and 200mm lens was too short, now I'm on a full frame and max 135mm :( that's like 85mm on my old camera! Good enough for the cheeky robins in the park but definitely not for the little birds in my garden. They're very timid, so literally swoop in for one mouthful of food and away again. Some of them are smart enough to use the hanging feeder, others aren't! :)
