All taken with a Canon 40D and the 100-400mm L lens. Might have to visit Rutland though this weekend, after Ian's osprey pics whet my appetite! :)

Never seen a Pied FLycatcher before ! nicely caught :) Well i may have but would never have known lol same with the Warblers :)

Im going to Rutland again sometime this weekend, maybe Sunday or Monday not decided yet :)

Nice pics. Good close views too. Do you have your own portable hide? I'm thinking of getting one.

Great shots there.

The female pied flycatcher looks like a mk 2 sparrow! :D

Not yet, mgcvk, though I am considering one for the garden, as the ungrateful beggars I feed day in day out, b*gger off when I get the camera out! :mad:

Nice work!

I'm not too familiar with wildlife stuff, how close are you for those? Are the ones here close to original or had a fair bit of cropping?
Just out of interest, is the exif available?

Very nice duckpond :)

My 18-200mm just isn't enough for most wildlife shots.

HS - pretty close for the flycatchers - hardly any cropping on those. The warblers were a tad further away. I think they were all at 400mm though.
