Blue Tit and Tree Sparrows

It has taken literally hours to upload less than 150MB of video. YouTube kept stalling and even when one eventually uploaded I was informed it had failed because of  'an unexplained error'. Eventually I uploaded them to Photobucket.

A Blue Tit at the peanut feeder:



I think there were three Tree Sparrows visiting the bird table. The wire mesh is to keep the larger birds out and give the smaller ones a chance.

  1. John I assume this is the new pro camera either that or you have sunshine. The tree Sparrows are wonderful.
    Why are YouTube having problems I see Keith has swapped to Vimeo. I wouldn't object to paying for this sort of service. Wouldn't like it either.

  2. It was the XL2 Adrian. No sun but I reset the white balance. With some sunlight the picture would have been sharper.
    YouTube goes through spasms of uselessness. Maybe it is too popular and can't cope with the number of users. I keep looking at Vimeo but haven't got round to trying it yet.

  3. Makes a big difference does white balance. Funny how it always has to be shoved to the right.

  4. Very sweet little birds :) It must have been frustrating trying to upload to Youtube for so long, but you found another way! Do you ever get squirrels? I can't remember if you've mentioned that before or not.

  5. Hello Glo. YouTube can be very frustrating at times. There are grey squirrels in the village but I haven't seen one in the garden for over a year.

  6. Fortunately Adrian, adjusting white balance in the XL2 I just zoom in on something white and press a button while it adjusts things itself.
