Do you get many of these beautiful birds in your back garden?

Hi,Dennis
Yes they are cropped,in Picasa2,UNLESS,I zoom the camera a little,to get rid of it.
The pics are not radically processed,simply cropped,if necessary,and sharpened 1 unit,if necessary.
The eyepiece used is a Vixen .965, 18mm Orthoscopic,fitted to a home made 1.25" adapter,I cut the wide edge off the eyepiece,so I could fit the top of a 35mm film cannister,over it.
This allows the camera tube to be a reasonably, snug fit on top of the eyepiece lens,so the shot is fairly centered.
Although,I have often seen the Beautiful Rosellas,in the trees before (Long distance away),I have Never had one in my yard,until my Mate gave me a little feeder,a couple of weeks ago.
Now,I get birds all over the place.
As to Sharpness,
Well,I have included a couple of shots from today,(the Rosella came back),
but,on the ground this time
I tried a 15mm El cheapo Plossl,You all know where it's from,
Pics now at 40x,instead of 33x,with the ortho.
Not Bad,But,Obviously,not as sharp.
Regards.
