Thanks, Chris. The camera is set up on a tripod about 6 feet inside a
fairly large double glazed window. And it is on an AC adapter and has a
remote shutter release attached. It is set to stay on all the time, and
is set at max zoom (which for this camera is 1200mm equivalent, which
provides pretty good framing for the small birds). The feeder station
is about 12 feet away, in front of the window. Since the camera is
within reach when I am sitting at the computer and notice action at the
feeders, all I have to do is reach for the tripod control with my left
hand and the remote shutter release with the right hand. When I get on
a bird, I fire bursts of continuous shots hoping to get some decent
poses. With digital it works pretty good. Those four were the best out
of around 90 shots. I do delete a lot of junk shots. LOL Those little
scamps move so fast and furious that it is difficult to capture any
pose, otherwise.

Nice one, Paul, and the bird has such a great expression or stance. Do you
wait around in a hide, or on a verandah?
