Hi all,

Another chickadee from my backyard set up. It seems I can only really get chickadees to land on the perches -- despite having many more species (finches, nuthatches, etc) visiting the feeder. Minor edits in post, but did have to clone out an OOF squirrel that decided to crash my BG. Wish I had zoomed out further to 300mm.

Camera: Nikon D500
Lens: 200-500mm f/5.6 at 330mm
Specs: 1/2000 ISO 640 f/6.3

Thanks for looking and commenting on prior posts!

OK Alex, I have just invited myself over. Seriously! Your set up is great. This is lovely all around. The perch, bird and background all look great. I really like how small the bird is in the frame. Works perfectly for these tiny birds. I would add a touch more on the top so the perch is not so close to the top of the frame.

Lovely perch and a nice shooting angle on the bird. BG colours fit in well with the shot. It looks a little bright to my eyes, but otherwise all good.

Nice one, Alex. Good pose, perch, background. A sliver more on top wouldn't hurt.

Thanks all, can add some more room above. I've been having a blast with these set ups and hopefully more to come soon. Thanks again,
