Hi Barrie,
I noticed the shutter speed on the first bird shot was 1/60 I think that might have been a bit slow for a 300mm lens. Most of the bird is good but I think the blurred head is due to the bird moving rather than a focus issue. I would try a few test shots of a static subject at a higher shutter speed.

I found this to be true, last year I followed a pair of swans from sitting on the eggs to the hatching of the first and only egg.Even after the first cygnet arrived the pen was still happy to be approached. The cob was always busy trying to keep the geese off the ponds.

Venerable, that's the title for an Archdeacon - perhaps I could get a job in Durham Cathedral.
Called in yesterday for a hour no jobs going, but I was able to try the K10 at iso 1600. The noise looks a lot smoother than the IstD.

I was told by my contact at Pentax that the cameras Pentax sell on Ebay are not Grade A.

I don't touch anything less than Grade A as they are often marked/scratched etc..

I totally agree, my recent K10d purchase was good as new.
Many thanks.....John
