Home » New member has photograph on BBC Springwatch

New member Leslie Peel was delighted to have one of his photographs shown on the BBC Springwatch programme on Monday evening. His beautiful portrait of a male chaffinch was taken at Daisy Nook Country Park in Ashton-under-Lyne and is shown below.

Les says:

I was just out walking when he landed on the aqueduct parapet in front of me. I have my camera set in manual mode and auto ISO. This was the first shot in a burst of five and the settings were:
1/800 sec @ f4.0, ISO 1100, 300mm lens on cropped sensor EFL = 450mm
