Managed to get these photos the other day, I think they could probably be sharper but I had to take creep forward slowly photographing as I went as I had no cover.

interesting series, bordering on being too busy but the framing of the bird and some feeding behavior saves it. oof stuff in 2nd shot is a shame too. would otherwise likely have been the pic of these.

I agree with Stephen in that #2 is he pick but marred by the out of focus material in front of the bird. It can be difficult to get focus correct on a bird in the middle of foliage.

If the Exif is correct and these were taken with a 55mm focal length, then very well done on getting close enough for these shots.

Lovely images. I'd blur a tad bit the background and de saturate it a bit and not be that aggressive on the sharpening of the bird

Thank you

Is this better?

The background is a little less intrusive but still fairly busy, but you have to take the birds where they choose to be. It's a nice pose and only let down a bit by the stuff in front of the bird.

Thank you :-)
