Rick Thanks for your comments. We spent a W/E at a rustic lodge in the area. Unfortunately it was very hot (over 40°C every day) - thank goodness for aircons! The back lighting & glare was terrible. That's about as good as I could get. Also, the shutter speed was a bit slow (1/1000) for H/H

Interesting indeed. Darters are unknown species in our area. About sharpness: with most Pentax camera's I think there is only one acceptable setting for wild life that is AF-S with spot AF aiming for the eyes while saying a little prayer . Henk Op 2024-03-21 om 01:41 schreef Rick Womer:

Nicely captured and presnted. Our fox doesn't seem interested in birdseed; there are plenty of squirrels, rabbits and chickens around to attract them. Deer are, however, a huge problem with bird feeders; I now only put out 2 thistle feeders for the finches, plus two suet and nuts/berries

A common problem when people try to put out birdseed is squirrels going after the birdseed. Lately I’ve been having something else doing the same: These were shot through the screen in the bathroom window, so they could suck less, but they’re much better than what I’ve been able to get so
