no hide Jonathon ,actually stood on the pavement outside John Lewis store in Chester , the tree /bush was about 12 feet away and the birds just landed and started to eat , no special skills needed . there was about 8 peeps there armed with 500 and 600mm lenses that had to hand hold as there literally wasn't enough room to deploy tripods . a mate of mine turned up with one of the new nikon p1000 cameras as well NOW that is a beast

Obviously a better class of Waxwing in Chester! Probably has a JL customer loyalty card.  Yes my friend in Spain has just got the P1000. A beast of a bridge!

answer me this one if possible when using manual focus lenses on the d300s in a/v mode does the aperture close down automatically on all lenses , . it does on my vivitar 200mm just wondered if they all did it

Do you mean LiveView? I am not a video person or LV user but I think yes.

found out the answer myself by chance , on some m/f lenses that little half moon index on the lens mount locks with the camera closing the lens down to the correct aperture once the shutter is pressed if the mount is either old or often cheap third party its missing hence you will be looking at a dimmer image through the v/finder

Nice work. How far away were you? I guess you were using the G80 + 100-400. And is it cropped?
