I'm getting to know the wood a bit better now. The feeders are doing their job and there are lots of opportunities to shoot 'portrait' type of shots of common woodland birds.
The challenge I have set myself is to do some birds in flight (BIF). To this end I have invested in an IR remote release for my camera. I've tested this out and it is fairly simple to use - of course the challenge is to get the birds to fly past the end of the lens!! I've got a few ideas on how to achieve this, in the meantime, here are a few shots I took down there earlier.

| Great tit checking the coast is clear before raiding the feeder |
 |
| This nuthatch is a regular visitor to the feeder in a very 'smash-and-grab' style |
 |
| It did stay still enough to get a couple of shots |
An opportunist squirrel came onto the scene too.
 |
| Just managed to frame him without cutting off his toes |
Great shots Martin.
