I duly set myself up this afternoon at peak feeding time. First the Starlings arrived and sat at the end of the garden in the highest tree making one hell of a noise. I focused camera on my posing stick checked exposure and after 5 mins they flew off never to be seen again today! Later nearly dark and by now 3/4 hour standing still my 78 yrs was letting me know it was hot cup of tea time. Then the Golfinches came and perched in a slightly closer little tree, as per normal.(set 5000 ISO) One flew down saw me, the whole lot took of & went to bed hungry.


I think that I would be scared as well.
Reminds me of a quote from Macbeth..... something about the woods at Dunsinane moving! :lol:

Jeff, the first owl picture is fine but the second looks strange (owl stuck on background). I guess it is the white edging around the owl.
Both shots super sharp.

I think the Goldfinches might of been flying off laughing saying “look at that silly old bu***r he thinks we can't see him”. :lol:

Thanks for your comments! Yes plenty of room for camera and tripod and seat. I tried it in the summer but had let it - me inthe garden all day and I got good pictures of our two very shy Jackdaws. If you sat in shade in a bush it would work well.

Graham I should just advise you that you can only use that cover on your own property!

If you go out and use it in public locations, the police may charge you with 'Loitering within tent'.

:lol:
