Beautiful set Nipper !

I loved all of them, even though focus just missed on the Nuthatch a couple of times.

In the end my favourite is the first, the singing Robin, beautiful composition & sharpness, though rather strange OOF. The Blue Tit was a close 2nd beating out 2 Nuthatch shots because of it's sharpness.

Well, Frogfish has it nailed really..I love the composition of the first image. Brilliant sharpness on the blue tit. A very nice set, The Nuthatch can prove to be a difficult subject to keep up with..(I speak from experience) The eye is nearly always lost due to the black stripe across the head. Or Zorro mask, as I refer to it...

A wonderful set... do you really need the K5? Just shows what one can do!

Best wishes,
