Just Lazy...

You can't knock 'em - Gotta love a little Blue Tit - I Filled the feeder up and sat back for an hour with the camera. Spent half the session with ISO and shutter settings too high.  Grainy images lacking detail, but that's not the birds fault!  As spring is springing now is the time to get familair with the camera settings again and test out image quality on some easy to find garden birds. 7/10 for these!



Not so common House Sparrow - The Cockney Bird of the countryside - Salt of the earth!

The beautiful yellow waistcoat of this bird magically matches the yellow lichen on the stems of the viburnum shrub in which it pauses, ready to return to the freshly stocked bird feeder situated just a few meters away.

Peach / Apricot highlight over the eye.


Bank Vole ( I think due to the chestnut colour)  was doing a little house keeping in one of the habitat stacks. 


And the fox skulked by on the far side of the meadow, while I was tucked away inside the pop up hide...
