Jeff replied suggesting positive exposure adjustment for birds in flight or in shade or against a bright sky. My previous shots e.g. of red kites were all taken with positive exposure compensation.
So, here are three images taken this afternoon with exposure compensation (as well as editing as you do with RAW pictures). 1: greenfinch in shady hedge 2: goldcrest in shade in a tree but with bright sky background 3: black headed gull in bright with bright sky.
See what you think...
