    There is a large collection of feeders at the rear of the hide with viewing ports.

    Strangely enough it was on a tree when I first noticed, but quickly moved onto the feeder. Having said that, this is the best image I've managed of one so far, so perhaps next time.

    I agree, natural settings are always preferable.

    Really sharp images and with good lighting.

    Every time I try to yake a pic of 'ours' it flips round to the other side of the feeder from me!
