for the hawk: i would've used sp at 1/2500s, max iso 1600, spot metering. I always snag air shots easily with good contrast.
for the Eurasian Nuthatch (Kleiber, id est, climber), i will try the following:
1/800-1/1250s, max iso 1250, spot.
otherwise, i'll use the auto and macro which always snag the shot for me even with a cheap compact digital camera.
l8er.
I've been sitting on this one for a little over a day, because my Mom taught me long ago to count to 10 before saying something.
You are quite the douche, sir. Not only do you ask a question, then poke at those who ask for more information, but after actually getting more details than you deserve you don't even bother to thank me for my time when I gave you the benefit of the doubt that you weren't quite the prick others suspected before issuing an unasked for critique on an image posted merely to serve as an example on how to fix something that was not shot with optimum light and settings, as your image was. So, with my apologies to all others who have taken the time to read this, "Fuck you, you pretentious asshole!!"
