Artist's Comments

I caught this great tit-mouse (I have no idea wether this is it's correct English name, sounds strange somehow, but my old dictionary says so) in my parent's garden as it was on it's way to the nesting-box it is raising it's young in.

The baby-birds had fat green caterpillar for lunch :)

I watched this bird for some time, finding out that it always stopped in a tree nearby the nesting box to check wether everything was alright before bringing the next load of food into the box. So it was only a matter of patience to find a good spot to 'shoot' it and then take the picture with it bringing a particularly...ummm...colorful meal :)

Thank you! I seem to get the hang of manual focusing (like with the sparrowhawk) - AF was of no help here, as it kept on focusing on the twigs around the bird. Lucky me that it remained in place for so long :lol:

Yeah... very nice :) Your shutter speed helped on that no doubt. I showed this to Dominic and he remarked on what an excellent photographer you were. I can only say I agree.

Hehe - well, if he calls *me* excellent, he'll run out of words for the really great photographers out here ;) But thanks nonetheless - cool that he liked it this much aswell.
