Wonderfull shots Amin you're getting better!
Wanted to give the advice Cliff gave you,
You can also use TAv, you set the shutterspeed and arperture then and the camera use the best ISO setting, it helps if you set the ISO so that it has more step.
So set the shutter speed on 300th of a second in these modes and in TAv set the lens wide open if light is low to prevent the iso from going up too high but if you have some light set it one step down to get more sharpness.
The fast shutterspeed is needed so that you have less time to move the camera so that the overall image is sharper and not moved and it also helps that the bird doesn't have so much time to move either
Don't worry about the ISO too much, a bit of grain is much better then an unsharp photo.
Yes sorry Amin, I should have explained a bit better, thanks for elaborating Stefan, you've done a great job as usualWonderfull shots Amin you're getting better!

The Shutter Priority mode is called Tv on the dial ontop. You set the shutterspeed and the camera do the rest you can even set the ISO to auto if you want.set your camera on Shutter Priority and your shutter speed at no less than 300th of a second, ISO 400 and let the aperture look after itself, seems to work ok for me most of the time

If you decide to make your own, make sure its "Waterproof", (nothing worse than a soggy bean bag)

Stefan, the first image is amazing,love the skyline, but as fore mentioned the reflection near the bottom distracts a little. Well done

Hi Barrie, I've been to a few reserves with varying size hides, the smaller ones are impossible for tripods. Best solutions are a monopod or a smallish bean bag ,stick the bag in the veiwing slot and rest your camera on that, works well Never used a clamp either, so cant comment but they look good.
Hope this helps
