Well done again, Gary.

Ya know, I often wonder where we'd be today if the likes of Charlie Darwin had an image capture machine the equivalent of a Pentax DSLR and a neato DA* lens aboard the HMS Beagle . . . or Johnny Audubon and his contemporaries . . . ? Shooting/capturing birds would have had a whole different meaning I suppose.

What do ya think? Would they have been Pentaxians? Or a lesser evolutionary breed?

Thanks Lensoreat,Hank and Mike.
I had a tip off from someone that a lot of Yellowhammers and Corn Buntings were eating dumped corn on the side of a muddy track in a small copse, the shots were all taken from the drivers seat of a car [which I nearly got stuck]
The birds were really flighty taking off at the slightest sign of movement.
