I've been photographing small birds of late. Quite a different challenge. In a pond near my work lives a family of clamorous reed warblers (see 3rd pic) who regularly take a dip in the water (washing or insects I don't know). They're extremely shy and the previous best pic (no. 4) was using about 700mm equivalent glass.

Today I thought I would try my telescope to capture them. Some success but I'll keep trying til I get a really good shot of them. The first 2 shots were with the 20D going flat out. They're so quick those are the only shots with them in the frame.

Have also used the scope for fairy wrens. Pics resized no crops.
