I have no interest in technical photography and know precious little about the settings on a camera, so it's auto all the way!
I suppose I'm an 'Opportunist', as I usually have the camera within grabbing distance, and click away.
Here's a selection of birds reared in our garden this year. Plus one lookeroner!
A young female Greater Spotted Woodpecker.
...with the father (Red cap)
A curious young Robin.
A young trio - Robin, Great Tit and a female Woodpecker.
Kestral. This was about 70yds away on a power line.
Young Song Thrushes. There were 5 in the brood, all reared successfully.
Two young Blackbirds with the parent. Four were reared in total.
I've never seen a Woodpecker with such a small amount of red. Normally, the whole of the top is red on a male bird. No red on a female, so what's going on here is anyone's guess....The young Robin is confused too.
Five young Blue Tits. At this early age they have no fear, and I managed to get within a couple of feet before they started to get twitchy.
Such luck. Three Woodpeckers!
Who's that idiot in there with a camera?! This was taken through our conservatory window
Same post a few minutes later. a young Robin with a snack.
Don't look at me for food, I'm your brother!
I don't want to overload, but there's a few more pictures if anyone would like to see them.
Cheers.
Ron
