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.
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
At an Animal Park in Bolton there were a small gathering of white peacocks, all just having a little relax on the fence. I thought they had interesting facial details so I tried to get in to take some shots.
This was just after I woke one of them up.
After getting bored of balancing I imagine, the duck felt a little clean was in order.
I thought it was quite a nice sight so I took a shot.
It’s not one legged for a start, so don’t feel sorry for it. It was just practicing it’s balancing I think.
Quite a difficult spot actually, it really blended in with the ground beneath it and the little plant to the side didn’t help so some selective desaturation I think helped bring the bird into focus a little better.
