No support used, purely hand held, camera and lens is big too - runs to 20 inches ! I've a great Manfrotto monopod which I like a lot. These experiments are based on a theory I have that 1/150 to 1/200 should be enough to freeze most wildlife movement so therefore 1/800 may well freeze any movement I make - seems quite effective - I'll keep trying various things and see what happens. I like the points system Neville, especially if it's out of 10 ! Cheers Rod [edit] Just weighed the camera and lens Neville - comes in fractionally below half a stone ! Neville,

That's a pretty good effort with a big lens and image stabilisation switched off. I presume you use tree trunks as pseudo tripods; I sometimes carry a lightweight monopod in the field, it's amazing the difference that vertical stability effects. I think I'll start awarding you 'bird points' according to the overall results ;) Disregarding the fact that this reduced-size image probably doesn't do it justice, (after all, they will all be judged by the same yardstick), I'll give this one 8 points. Regards, Neville Rod,
