One more question please, should i be shooting in RAW or JPEG? when taking shots of birds
saxkiwi has it right. It is a personal decision as to how much control you want or are comfortable with. Personally, I shoot RAW. One other factor is that when shooting in high speed continuous mode you will get far more shots before the buffer is full in JPEG format.
Thank you for your responses once again, very much appreciated.
It is a lovely sunny day here in Southport uk the sun is cracking the pavement flags, (or should i say sidewalk), i live about 6 miles away from a big bird sanctuary called Martin Mere, Birds and people come from al over the world to go there. so i think its about time i visited there too, hopefully i will get some nice shots with all the information i now have. regards Allan

I don't know why most of your photos have a greenish cast..
Shooting RAW is like having the negative. You have more options about how you want the final print to look, but it will take up more space on your memory card; which means less shots per card. RAW is also for those who like post processing, or to give the final print or file your own personal touch, or to adjust the final photo the way you remember it. There is not as much leeway to correct your mistakes in post processing when shooting JPEG.
I have Magic Lantern installed on my T2i and it has a feature that allows me with mirror locked up to speak and it fires...very stead pics.
