BTW larger view of flight here - can be scrolled across

Mainly driven by my own curiosity, I have set up a poll to identify the most popular setup for N&BW members when it comes to nature photography.

Went for a walk today and this Robin came very close.

When I went down on my knees to get level with it. It made this pose.

It kind of looked like it was saying Are you throwing shapes at me!

It was looking at me head on.

What sort of shutter speed is recommended for in-flight shots?

You'd certainly need to go to 1/800th second or above
The shot of the Reed Bunting above was 1/2500th sec

A lot of the posters here use upload/share sites where the photo itself gives full exif data on all the camera/lens/ settings of each photo.

So if you double click on the photo , all these details become available.
I always do that:)
Hoping to learn

I remember you saying you were an ecologist (I think). Whenever Im there I can't but notice how few oak saplings in the forest. Are the deer preventing regeneration?
