Thanks all, was heavy rain down here yesterday so spent the day reading books on wildlife photography, going out today and putting some of it to practice.

Nice work
You do not need to use manual mode for much at all and using it does not make you a better photographer.
Thanks Brancho, I'm finding aperture mode is doing what I need,
Unfortunately the weather's been bad so didn' want to take camera out in the wet, I did find some new places to go though for when the weather is nicer.

More often people use shutter priority and auto ISO for this kind of shot to prevent camera shake

Great shots!

I'm afraid I was brought up on manual film cameras (OM-1's) so I tend to set the ISO for the conditions, decide on the 'artistry' of the shot (i.e. how much depth of field I want) then set the shutter speed to get the lighting level (checking it's fast enough for the lens length). So, on most shots I'm using aperture priority. To be honest manual mode isn't any more 'professional' or complicated; just takes a moment longer.

I'm loving the added potential that modern DSLR high ISO levels give with considerably lower noise than only a few years ago.

I only keep the ones I like and I don't have or use any type of programme to adjust them, I only ever crop a picture if needed to remove a stray branch or another birds wings. Most of the time I take at least three photos to get maybe one good one if I am lucky.
