I had to be careful during the summer as the Sparrowhawks had also realised but I haven't seen one this visit.

The tiny ones can stand it. I have full frame Canon gear or what Canon say is full frame.It is nothing like, it is what you would know as 35mm. Full frame is 120mm but the digital bit costs £60K and a camera body another 10K. A daft amount of money to spend for T'internet.<br /><br /> I discard most of the image the camera collects. I do edit first. These images will print at 220dpi. They will come out perfect at a foot or two square on shiny paper. <br /><br />Ten to fifteen feet is the answer. Sorry to make a meal out of a simple question.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-78948470639471051722014-12-28T15:32:31.642+00:002014-12-28T15:32:31.642+00:00Bas, they are not very grateful.
