Twite at Drumbuie

Twite feeding on seeds at Drumbuie (Panasonic Lumx DMC-FZ200 at 108mm 1/640 sec at f/2.8, ISO 160, handheld)

I went for an early morning walk aroun d the coats at Drumbuie today and saw 32 species of bird in total.  Had great views of a small group of twite feeding on weed seeds where cattle have been feeding over the winter.  These two shots were the best I could manage with my small Panasonic bridge camera.  It is actually a really good little camera with a zoom equivalent of 600mm on a full frame dslr which is what these were taken at, and f/2.8 across the entire zoom range, so you can get decent shutterspeeds.  Focusing is the hardest part with these small birds which are also camouflaged exceptionally well and move around a lot.
