I usually shoot raw, but today, for a change, I set BP2 to jpeg and wandered off to the Uni, hoping there might be a Great Crested Grebe on the lake – still frozen so no chance. But in the trees outside Biology, I heard the sound of tiny birds, finally found them & clicked away. The buffer(?) wotsit for raw is a bit slow, so shooting smaller & therefore faster jpegs worked reasonably well.
About 6 Siskin were feeding, I got a couple of hundred shots and nobody stopped to ask what I had seen, what I was photographing high up in the trees! Sad, innit?
Why is that the smallest birds INSIST on being high?

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
Aristotle

“Of one Essence is the human race,
thus has Creation put the base;
One Limb impacted is sufficient
For all Others to feel the Mace ”
