redpoll, blue tit, great tit, coal tit, long-tailed tit (in winter),
dunnock, goldfinch, robin, pheasant, collared dove, occasionally

the house sparrow, brambling and grey wagtail.
We will be
looking at exposure and exposure compensation, the use of shutter
speed and ISO setting in relation to shutter speeds and aperture
settings along with white balance setting and the use of Kelvin.
The birds are very close and exceptionally good images can be
expected with great backgrounds.
