Sorry Mona, The top two is a Nuthatch, the second a Marsh Tit, the third is a Coal Tit and the last a Long Tailed Tit probably of the same family as your Chickadee. Sam
Sam and Lisa are keen photographers with a particular interest in birds and wildlife in Cornwall. We have always been interested in photography but the improvements to digital cameras have renewed our interest. We hope you will enjoy viewing our photo blog!
Our equipment is as follows: I shoot with a Nikon D300 Camera and my lenses are a 300mm F/2.8 VR, 1.7x Nikon Teleconverter, 80-400mm Nikon Zoom and an 18 -200mm Nikon Zoom. Lisa has a Nikon D90 with HD Video capabilities and the 18-105mm Nikon Zoom. She also commandeers my lenses when needed! I shoot in JPEG though will soon be trying RAW format...after I have purchased a laptop man enough to deal with all that data.
