Just returning to the discussion on locking focus. The above image was easy for the camera to hold focus as there were no distracting objects in the background for it to dither over. But when the bird dipped low over the fields there was a danger the autofocus (whatever mode used) would cause the focus point to change to a background item, unless the centre spot/group was left on the bird.

Glad you are snug and warm with the new roof and double glazing. Today I checked the gutters and chimney stack which is fine. Cleaned out the gutters and gullies around the stack. Roof tiles are fine. If there is no rain tonight/tomorrow morning then it is back up the ladder and wire brush the wall and spray the mortar joints with silicone fluid sealant. That will complete the difficult part of the job. Then wait for the rain that is due on Saturday and see how successful my efforts have been.

Back on Topic. Second lower image is great. Love the pale green background. Yes I grant you it is easier with a larger bird but even raptors are quite difficult as they fly, glide, hover and dive. The hover is the time to get them! The bee eaters are very fast moving and probably about the size of a small jackdaw or large blackbird. My success rate is not super high less than 30% and that was two years ago. I will try and see if I can get some Cornish Choughs or kingfishers to photograph once my DIY jobs are complete.
