I had an outing at The Australia Gardens today with Spearmint and while I have a long way to go with my bird photography I feel that I am making good progress.
For some reason I had my camera set on AV at f2.8, totally unnecessary as it was a pretty sunny morning and I a fast shutter speed was not required, My shots lack sharpness because of the wide open lens and I was using multi point focusing, single point focus would have helped prevent focus on foliage in some shots. All the images have been heavily cropped.
C & C most welcome.

#2 Nice sharp focus on the wing, too bad the antennae and body are out of focus.
#3 That long skinny beak sure comes in handy when going for the nectar.

#6 Focus is on the foliage in front of the bird. Should have used single point focus.
