    Default Nuthatch, Chaffinch, Great tits and Coalt tit.

    The weather was not particularly nice today, so just popped a few photos through the upstairs window, hand holding the 50-500mm lens. Got a lot of duffers, but a few came out quite well, so the image Stabilisation is working.

    Thanks Beryl, unfortunately he wouldn't play ball, as the other more complete views were pretty fuzzy, I guess the hand holding has its limitation.

    Yes hand held does have it's limitations for a big lens.
    The thing is a Nuthatch is like a tree creeper rarely keeps still.
