Autumn birds

I also got a chance to take some shots of birds where it was possible with macro lens Tamron 90mm.

The place is in the park, that local people have made to feed the birds. And the autumn leaves gave quite a nice background for the shots.

Most of the birds are tomtits that are commonly seen everywhere.

However, the name of this bird I still struggle to find, being not very knowledgeable.

This funny bird is making some tricks with a seed.

Here I just liked the blurred background of autumn.

 This guy is obviously having a moment of inspiration after too much feeding.

Here I was really lucky, because all these guys gave me a natural 'group portrait' of birds in process of their little doings.

 And these two birds were busy with themselves, when suddenly they turned their heads towards my camera and stayed like this for half a second, like if they were posing for a picture. This was enough to get this shot right.

 Of course, where the birds are not central and bigger part of the picture, it would be better to use another lens. Next time will try to make better ones. There is always room for improvement.
