In reply to HAZY:
I was meant to be out walking today, rather than birdwatching. Of course, there's always some birds to see but I didn't want to be carrying the big lens around or keep taking it out of the rucksack and putting it back again. You can guess what happened: Mipits were so close they were almost perching on the brim of me hat. Male and female stonechats posed a few feet away. Mistle Thrushes were feeding fledglings in the trees and I even heard a Cuckoo but couldn't find it. And this bird sang for 10 minutes just yards away when the longest lens I had was the macro.
If you crop really harshly you get this
My first PF and a gorgeous little bird. It was really close in the bins and I could have got some great shots if I'd had my 200-500mm with me! That'll learn me!!

Never seen one before - multi-tasking didn't go so well - trying to get camera on it while trying to point it out to Mrs S. so it inevitably buzzed off.
So my only picture of a wren at Coughton Court in the bog garden
But at least I can tell it's a wren.
