My first attempt at bird photography
I’m also new to identifying birds so with the aid of an app and a bird book I identified the first as a female blackbird and the second is a Rock Pipit.
The blackbird was taken at sunset and I wanted to capture the bird half in the shadow and half in the golden glow.
I’m quite pleased with my first attempt but I know there is always room for improvement.
Taken with a Canon 70D and Canon L-Series 100-400m.
