Helpful Posts: Shot just after sun up these little birds rise up in flocks out of the tall grass and crops on the Darling Downs just west of Brisbane. They're about 50mm / 2 inches long.
Used my 150-600 Tamron which I'm very pleased with. This is hand held at 600mm, f7.1, 1/200 on a crop frame EOS 70D (i.e. 960mm 35mm equivalent)

We have some black and yellow two inches birdies around here and they flit a lot and impossible to capture but you inspired me to try...beautiful shots...I wish I have the patience to wait...as you did.

Re: Plum Headed Finches
Nice shot Graham, the early morning light works well here. And the lens looks to be doing it's job nicely.

I loved it Graham, lovely birds and very nice BG
I don't like your watermark as I don't like anybody's watermark. I usually find them distracting.
