Hungry Birds this time of year

Re: Garden visitor

That's a nice image, but just a little soft on the Blue Tit. The cage and fat ball look sharp enough, so it may be that the shutter speed was a little on the low side. The smaller the bird, the faster it moves, so you really do need to crank up the shutter speed to freeze the action.

There is no metadata attached to your photo, so I can't see what shutter speed was used, but I would suggest 1/2000 sec and if you need to, open up the aperture and raise the ISO to get the shutter speed. What shutter speed did you use? If it was already 1/2000 sec I am going to look quite silly, but hey, I have broad shoulders.

Hope that helps.

Would agree with Colin's assessment.
