I am still learning about my new camera and how to work it in different ways. Since the garden is full of birds I take the opportunity to practise my skills on them.
You will have to excuse the fact that some of these pictures are slightly blurred and a bit grainy, but I wish to demonstrate the beauty of their feathers, the way they make such wonderful patterns. It is not difficult to imagine the movement that I froze in a fraction of a second. Had you not known they were Great Tits and Greenfinches, you could have mistaken them for much bigger birds. I think they are stunningly beautiful birds.

These are great ... but I really like that fluffy little (brown) blackbird chick in the previous post!
Veronica - Thanks, the little brown blackbird looks like a cuddly toy!
How come when I'm learning to use my camera, you can't even tell what it is I'm photographing?!
OK. Yeah. Don't answer that.
These are wonderful!
Wow, I want a camera like that, just once in my life I'd like one. Nice birdies...ciao
Diane - Thank you. Don't be so hard on yourself, you'll get there, just keep trying.
Rositta - I'm sure you can get a decent DSLR at a good price if you go looking on the net. Brings you a lot of joy! :-)
Those are amazing pictures, that camera must be FAST! How many did you have to take to get them? Please don't say three or four, I mayhave to cry then.
Beautiful! I love that they are blurry as it demonstrates movement. Birds are such a joy to watch, you took some great shots indeed.;)
Oreneta - Thanks. Save your tears, I only kept 10% or so of the photos. That's the beauty of digital. I used the fastest shutter speed possible under the conditions, 1/1000 or 1/1250 secs. Then I cropped and enlarged, hence the slight blur in some of them.
Protege - Thank you. To use an old cliché, they are sheer poetry. I have become quite a fan I have noticed. ;-)
