Everyone loves a robin photo, Don't they? .. Well heres enough to last you a while!





This last one was quite happy to feed from my hand, although getting a photo of the event is proving difficult!


Oh, a couple of images that have a certain "Cute" factor!



That's all for now! I have a week off soon and I have a few trips planned so no doubt I will have another set for you to have a look through! Any thoughts or comments please contact me, or leave your comments on this post!

First outing in March.

The weathers been quite kind to me lately and with a day off work I set off nice an early. there was plenty about first thing this morning which provided a great opportunity to grab some shots to upload.

The first thing I did was head to a quiet spot and set up a few perches and put out some food. It took less than five minutes to be surrounded by wildlife and i almost struggled to stay focused on one subject at a time!

One thing I had been after for a while now was the bank vole, very quick and very timid, but he had proved difficult to catch! .. Not today!

I have a few more shots of him but I thought this one had that "Cute" factor about it! He has a mate too but the two never surfaced together today! Always next time!

Inbetween shots of the vole I managed the usual bird shots but with the brilliant light today I experimented with my camera and lens to find the sweet spot. It lies between f/9 and f/11 and gave some really good results!

Bullfinch - Male

The wildlife were more than happy to sit and pose for the camera and I didn't hesitate! I took over 160 shots today and So far I've only scrapped 8 or so!


Marsh Tit

Theres more images from today on my Flickr also larger versions of all of the images on here!


I'll leave you with this shot which was one i couldn't resist as I started to pack up!
