We were on a visit to Channock Chase, May 09, we were just leaving the visistor centre after spending an hour or so watching a nuthatch build a nest in a nest box, when we saw outside the car window a little blue tit flying back and forth, it took a while but eventually we noticed him/her disappearing down inside the no entry pole! very difficult to get a picture, you can just see him fly out in the top of the picture.We assume there is either a nest or building a nest going on!
Imaging my surprise when I found this little Blackbird nesting in my laundry room!
I took this with a zoom lens so she wasn't any more disturbed than the usual coming and goings to the washing machine! At least she is safe from the Buzzards!...may have to wash the farm overalls somewhere else for a while!
This bathing House Sparrow was captured in our back garden in Elgin, Moray, Scotland with a Canon EOS 40D and Sigma DG 150-500 mm lens. Exposure: 1/400 Second @ f/8, ISO-400.
The fields of Dandelions this year have been extraordinary and this one in Shropshire beat them all for me, it was absolutely packed with blooms - quite tall for a dandelion as well I think - and the sheep were wading through them. I guess they're wild?
Another shot of one of my best mates :) I think he likes me. Or just knows I'm going to feed him! So many blackbirds in the garden this year. Not all as tame as him.
