Caught this little guy eating this block of bird food the other day. The feeder is only about 8 ft from the door and I managed to open it. Get outside. Put my camera up to my face and get in close enough to get this shot without having to crop it before he flew away.
Lovely fat little things are Robins. Some minor saturation boosting on account of the cloudy horrible day..
Sorry about the rooftop shot. Jays are incredibly twitchy. This surprised me. In my experience the smaller the bird, the twitchier they get but Jays are fairly large and they are all over the place!
I threw some nuts out of the window and he came along, so after a quick lean out of the window and firing off of a few shots I finally managed to capture the bird standing still. Still fairly blurry so i’m a little disappointed but i’m really getting into my "birding" so it’s part of the learning curve.
This horrible little thing was hanging from the ceiling one night while I was in bed. He didn’t seem to shy so I managed to get quite close with my macro and got some fairly nice detail.
It’s one of the more "interesting" looking moths though, I will give it that, not like those nasty furry ones.
Quite like this bird feeder stuck to the wall outside. Desaturated it a little for effect.
Reminds me of a prop from a Tim Burton movie…
A few little potted cacti sitting in their pots on the shelf as you walk in the front door.
They are funny looking plants when you think about it. I used to have a cactus myself once. Decided I wanted to see what happens when you get pricked by one of the needles (i was younger back then)
Nobody told me that the little needles actually snap off into smaller and smaller pieces when it’s stuck in your sking so you can’t actually pull it out.
Clever little defence mechanism.
My old one also grew about 4ft in a week (i exaggerate a little) but after a month it started to scare me so I threw it away.
These are less imposing.
A rather poignant message left of the door of a restroom in a city centre coffee shop…
Caught this Cananda Goose being rude and sticking his tongue out at a passing Coot.
Perhaps he was taking the mick because it looks like someone dropped a fried egg on his face and he hadn’t noticed!
Once the squirrel had been dashing backwards and forwards collecting and storing some nuts, he felt like he deserved a little snack before he kept on working.
Cropped quite heavily but happy with the sharpness.
"nom nom nom"
I love the sheer look of horror on his face as I open the window to get photographic evidence of him stealing my nuts.
Caught red-handed you little mammal!
This is when he turned around and told me to leave them alone
