Something totally different today. Having spent the last 7 days or so getting up really early to be in position for the Kingfisher, I thought I would give it a rest and see what was out and about in the garden. This is supposed to be Wildlife in a Suburban Garden after all! I experimented with some in-flight shots and differing settings on the camera using the bathroom window as a location. I pretty much came to the conclusion, if I didn't know it all ready,  that light is incredibly important especially if you are trying for shutter speeds that freeze action. Well, to be honest I am amazed at these pictures. A Wood Pigeon was in the Apple Tree, a regular visitor. I set the camera at 1000 sec and waited for him to leave his perch. I froze the action on these 5 shots all taken in a split second and I am thrilled with the results. This "aint" no Kingfisher but it is a lovely bird and one that, because of it's pest status is vilified and hated.. but I love them! I also took a few Chaffinch images which were quite good too.
