    The equipment I use is a Canon 30D with Sigma 50-500mm lens. I also have a garden hide from which I take most of my pictures.

    Strange Babs. Never seen anything quite like this before, doesn't look good but who knows......I certainly don't know the (feather) problem here and the bill is another matter.
