sorry for the delay, have been busy working shifts.
Many thanks for all your comments.
I was only going to use flash because someone told me that was what he uses. And allthough i want to take the birds in flight in the day, as its gloomy ole england it is very dark. as my k5 still hasnt arrived yet Im using the K20d. and fixed sigma 400mm lens.
I have set some bird feeders up at work and see the ltt most days. so i would like an in focus in flight picture of at least one.
Any info is gratefully recieved.
many thanks again
