Fairy-wren and Robin

After posting yesterday I took a few more shots out in the backyard. I was actually trying to photograph the silvereyes but they refused to cooperate. At least the Fairy-wrens are always obliging and a Scarlet Robin made a brief show as well.

A Few Birds

This morning was not a good time for photography. We had showers and overcast skies. However, having an SLR in my hands again (Canon 7D) I could not resist taking a short walk and trying it out. I didn't do too well but I did take a few shots as seen below. These were taken with the ISO set at 1250 (plus noise removal) which is quite amazing. The old 300D could never have handled that.
