Fabulous Finches and Robins

One of the things I have tried and tried again to photograph are finches. These guys are so cute - subtly they fly around with a quaint chitter. Now, patience is not one of my strong suits, but you have to be patient when photographing birds, I understand that now. Although, it still doesn't come naturally to me.

This day we were camping at Cape Range National Park - so not quite Pilbara, but beautiful all the same. I decided to stalk the birds in the morning. I chased these guys around and around the campground. I changed my lens twice - given its zoom capacity the 18-200mm did quite nicely for this in the end. I increased the shutter to try and freeze these guys in motion.

What's below is a start.

The last one is a little robin - isn't he cute? These guys were easier to capture than the finches, I think these guys were the babies.
