Garden Catching up !!!

Barn owls have taken over most of my time when the weather isn't crap so the good news is that i'm up to 5 regular places too see them.
 A brief catch up on some of the birds from my garden.
3 finches Gold, Green and Bull

Time for a new perch soon but i might start feeding these less, sunflower seeds are costing me a fortune !!!


The Mother Red Legged Partridge brings the young into the garden most years so time to get down low and snap the bundles of fluff.

It's not often i do too much planning for shots in the garden but we were getting regular visits of a pair of Jay's and these are super alert birds and not easily fooled. So i had the perch but needed to put it somewhere that would allow me to shoot from the garage and through a garden gate with a nice background.
Backgrounds have been top of my list for getting better at and can make a huge difference to a shot, a reverse of Landscape photography where you need some nice foreground interest.
