Weight of the bird
31st October 2012
A bit late posting today, had a lovely evening teaching a photography night class in Bonniconlon. I am returning to the birds in the garden for tonights picture. This greenfinch was feeding on the ground and would not use the perch i had set up beside the birdtable. It did occasionally land on the cherry tree however so i set up the camera to capture him on it. This was the third attempt, when pre focusing the camera I had forgotten to allow for the weight of the bird on the twig, which of course bent when he landed on it, so in the first two pictures I got I only got his head. I made a further adjustment after this picture to try and include more of his tail, but he refused to come back to the same perch.
