Thanks all for the comments & ideas.
I shall construct a more "natural" bird feeder. Even a feeding table. There
may be the odd squirrel, bushbaby or some tree mice but it is mostly the
birds eating the seed.
The Cut-throats & Bronze Mannekins arrive in large flocks & really gorge
themselves. The more timid species (like Blue Waxbills, Firefinches, Grey
Headed Sparrows & Yellow Eye Canaries) wait for lulls in the feeding frenzy.
If I move slowly, I can easily get quite close. The birds are used to me
now. What spooks them is shadows or a larger bird flying nearby. Also noisy
cars or motorbikes!
I agree that a K5 (or K3) would be better (ISO wise) but the K7 will have to
do! I'll try using a tripod & a remote & "catch in focus".
