They ended up being difficult to focus on at this short distance, it was just a case of picking a point on the bird and going for it. Also had to keep the shutter speed fairly high to minimise camera shake as they were taken hand held.

Yes, well done for the mirror lens Mick, I watched a youtube of that lens, inquisitive, & looks to be some mastering of it, soo, persistence has paid off for you and recognizing the Focus abilities of different lenses is always a cool aspect of photog
BTW, here a Tawny I posted some time ago @ 200mm
