The usual birds were around the beginning of the week and Mr Blackbird was really pleased to see us home this evening and was in his food tray as soon as I'd taken a few steps away. Luckily all the birds had a top up of food and water with a visit from my parents so they did have enough to keep them going!
I took this photograph of the nuthatch a couple of weeks ago, I was pleased with how it turned out as I wasn't that close, it was dark in the tree (even though it was a sunny day), and I had to crop it quite a lot.

I do love visiting your blog Natasha to see your awesome photos.... and this is really awesome, beautiful bird; I think he was posing for you too - love it x
ReplyDeleteI get very excited when I get a good photo!
DeleteBirds and wildlife are very difficult.
So as you can imagine I usually have lots that don't make it!
I always hope that at least one turns out well.
