Garden Birds

All this recent bad weather has meant that the supply of food for birds becomes more of a problem, and my garden feeders have certainly been a lot busier as a result. So recently spent a little time with the camera in the garden, and if nothing else it really made me appreciate the beauty and real pleasure watching them brings, that I normally take for granted. Also the free food on offer is also attracting some rarities for my garden. Lastly, I have included some pics of a very friendly Robin that I met up at RSPB Leighton Moss recently, it was an absolute thrill to have it feeding out of my hand.

Goldfinchs are always welcome, and I do get alot feeding on the Sunflower hearts

    Hi Paul, thanks for the kind comment. I use a Nikon D90, and the lenses I use vary, but the main lens I use is a Sigma 150-500mm, although the Robin pictures were taken with an 18-55mm as i could get pretty close as it was quite tame.
    regards

    Hi, I've been silently enjoying your blog for a while, but I really must comment on that lovely Robin. Your pics are always amazing, but those last two are just gorgeous. Thanks so much.
