    Unknown garden visitor

    I stuck my 400mm lens out of the lounge window today and captured a shot of this little visitor. I am not sure what type of bird he is.

    The settings were 1/100sec at 5.6 with an ISO of 400, on the Canon 70D.

    I also captured a shot of this little guy, with the wind ruffling his feathers.

          Thank you, Stan. I did wonder if that was what he was. :) Yes, I know the other two. :)

          This was another shot I got today...

            Agree with Stan about the dunnock. Surprised to see a robin with a ring.

                Re: Unknown garden visitor

                Stan, Brian, with regard to the rings (the Blue Tit has one too) I am guessing it could be due to the fact that we are not that far from Sandy in Bedfordshire (RSPB).

                Thanks for the encouragement, Alan. :)

                    The robin is my fave. You're lucky lately my garden is empty with exception to starlings.

                          Heehee, my hubby said a similar thing, Paulstw. :)

                          Wayne, is this crop too tight do you think?

                              Good shots carol ,personally I prefer the first robin ,all bird shots should give them something to look into ,possibly a letterbox crop might have helped I.e 16x9
