Alan,
That's a good start! Have you tried sitting still for a half hour
while they get used to you?
Set-up on a tripod with a long cable release and pre-focus. Easier
now as you don't waste film.
Also, small mammals might be eating your seeds as well. Squirrels and
racoons here.
Regards, Bob S.

A couple of weeks ago I put up a bird feeder. It took the birds several days
to find it but now we have a daily bun fight. We must be feeding birds from
far & wide because they are consuming about 1kg of seed a day! 6 species so
far. The photography is quite difficult because the birds are very skittish
& one needs to get with 5m. Then the question of exposure. A high ISO is
necessary to get a high enough shutter speed for hand-held work &
unfortunately the K7 sensor is a bit noisy. Noise reduction smoothes the
detail too much. I am on a learning curve here so any helpful comments are
gratefully encouraged.
