I once saw a male Bullfinch in my garden, but coming back from a walk with my camera at hand, I saw a female Bullfinch on a new feeder - the first time I have ever seen a female anywhere. Then the male came along. They both returned in the evening - it's rather exciting. I am wondering whether the design of feeder makes a difference. The old one had a cage around it to keep the squirrels out, which might have inhibited the Bullfinches? The new one is squirrel proof without a cage.
On registering my new "Squirrel Buster" feeder, discovered it was made in Canada! Not surprising, considering the huge number of birders there, out of proportion to the size of the population, it seems from CR and FM.

Couple more hummers with the 5DSR - even managed to get a decent one at f8. Really on the knife edge with ISO -vs- f-stop -vs- DOF -vs- shutter speed. Luckily I figured out how to shoot from an open window, sparing me the sweat factor (96F here today).View attachment 191626View attachment 191627

I’m at F8 before I even turn the camera on....
