Hi Fra, > Oh, you are quite adventurous. Aren't you afraid of them - ehm - > "marking" your 15mm as birds usually do?
Yes, this is a danger, but I do intend to use a protective housing for the camera with a glass panel to protect the lens and some sort of heating system to help preserve batteries. > Good luck with it.

I am not necessarily looking for the 'bird guide' type of picture, more like the second or third frame of the Motor Drive A's 3.5 fps burst and perhaps catch a whirl of wings as the birds take flight after the first frame is fired. If the birds are hungry enough they will soon return to the feeder. Pat
