realy nice set of a lovely bird, nice and sharp and lovely colours.

a little bit of p&p would improve them more to.

There is an important Health and Safety issue here, Bassman!

Captures this sharp are likely to puncture the viewer's eyeballs and cause lasting damage to their retinas.

Unless you have the financial resources to weather a spate of personal injury claims, I advise you to include an hazard warning sign of the type shown:

The link seems to be broken for some reason.

I think these are some of your best yet, I've never seen a Dartford Warbler but after seeing these I almost feel as if I've reached out and touched one.
My Names Alan, and I'm a lensaholic.

This is only the second time I have ever seen this bird.
These were taken at Keyhaven ,the first time I went looking for them they were too far away to get a good shot ,this time a pair landed on brambles about 5m away,what an amazing sight.
