And no, I don’t mean “George”, “Floella” or “Tarquin”. This was taken at the Bolton Abbey meetup on Sunday. After a good walk around the Abbey, we settled in the Tea Rooms for lunch. After dining on a rather nice chicken and mayonnaise sandwich and a pot of tea, we were idly passing the time when lots of birds got rather brave and decided to make a few mad dashes for our leftovers.

I did get put the 50mm prime lens on at one point, but they just wouldn’t sit still, so I was quite pleased to capture the ones I did get, this being one of them. For my Sigma 70-300, at 149mm, I was quite pleased. While trying to shoot these, I was fully aware of my lens soft points, so tried to keep it over f7.1 and under 240mm.
