7d+400mm f5.6
1/640"
F8
Aperture priority
ISO = 400
Exposure Bias Value = -0.67EV
Metering Mode = Evaluative

These cracking little birds have been in North Wales for a couple of months now, they are not always easy to be seen - and there hasn't been many good days - weather wise.

You need duller days to avoid overexposing I guess. Very nice shot too.

That will do nicely Kim, A good range of blacks to whites in the image.

I have been watching the weather with a view to heading over for some images of these birds. Looks like it wont be this weekend according to the weather reports.

Cheers
