The Kenton Goldfinches are growing up. They've lost the last of the downy feathers and some of them are starting to develop their characteristic red faces. They have also learnt that there are predators about. The sparrowhawk tried but failed to catch one. They were way too quick for it. The Sparrowhawk didn't hang around. I was lucky to get any shots of it let alone any well focussed ones...

FZ200 test shots in Sunny Hill Park. It was soon after taking these shots and not being so happy overall that the original FZ200 was sent back for an exchange as the longer range quality in particular was sub standard. I still got some good shots though as you can see.
