Zygote

Wood Pigeons - I didn't have my tripod with me when i shot these, so the pics didn't turn out as good as i hoped.
Focal length: 195.0mm
Exposure time: 1/200
Aperture: f/5.0





Starling - Also shot handheld.
Focal length: 195.0mm
Exposure time: 1/500
Aperture: f/5.0 Blurry around the eye. Would a higher aperture helped?



Blue Tit
Focal length: 150.0mm
Exposure time: 1/160
Aperture: f/4.5



Looking at the camera. Which of these two pictures of the Blue Tit do you prefer?



Thanks for looking.
I could use some advice for taking pictures of birds.

The starling and blue tit are very nice; great color and detail! And those pigeons...were they engaging in some hanky-panky? I like the picture of the blue tit facing you. I like the eye contact.
