Wren, but it's too small and too far away!

Paul Iddon

Wrens are very small birds. I even cropped this!

Only had the kit lens on (18-135) even though I had the 70-200 in my bag. To have swapped to it would have meant the wren being missed as it flew away almost straight away. As good as it gets from me!

Paul, this happens to me a lot! Pretty little bird, and the branches almost look like a chain-link fence! Best, Pam

Paul -

In my experience, birds of all types are almost *always* too far away! And, of course, small ones like your wren are much more challenging to shoot than big ones. Nice work with this little guy.

Thanks

It is always a bit harder when you shoot outside your comfort zone too, so perhaps it isn't so bad really.
