You'd think that yes....................

But, behind me is the flyover for the A6, to the left of me a football ground and then to the left, a large scrapyard.

But the bridge and the river are nice

And they say that the camera never lies

LOL, well strictly it didn't, at least about the bridge. It just missed out the surroundings

~Sam~ · 04-01-2013, 20:10

I love the reflections and the clouds (I have a bit of a thing about clouds!) - great shot overall. We have been kind of hibernating recently and I just can't wait to get out and about and your photo makes me want to all the more!

whipspeed · 04-01-2013, 20:15 **Thread Starter**

It was a lovely day today, warm and sunny, not like January at all.

phil_b · 04-01-2013, 20:24

You were very lucky with the weather , just another plain grey day over here. As someone said it's a pity about the grass in the middle but u can't help that. Good job

whipspeed · 04-01-2013, 20:25 **Thread Starter**

Grass will probably go before it's printed

Cg_Girl · 05-01-2013, 10:29

Wow!! That's beautiful!

OK, this is certainly not a technically very good shot. I've had to crop in as couldn't get very close to the tree even with the telephoto at 400mm on a crop sensor camera. ISO was at 1000 as it is not only cloudy, but the sun is going down behind the tree, so there is a fair old bit of noise in this as well, resulting in a loss of detail.
However, having said that the only birds we get round here are sparrows & starlings, I was gobsmacked to see these in the tree outside, so decided that I would capture a shot of them to be my photo of the day.

Trace & Hayley, thanks for your comments on yesterdays shot

toadstool · 05-01-2013, 15:03

The berry(?) in his little mouth just makes this shot!

whipspeed · 05-01-2013, 15:07 **Thread Starter**

Thanks, They pose quite well with them, pick them, hold like this, then swallow them, so you get a chance. Just could have wished for better light etc.

shotokan101 · 05-01-2013, 15:14

Lovely - is it a waxbill ?

whipspeed · 05-01-2013, 15:15 **Thread Starter**

A waxwing yes & thank you

Cg_Girl · 05-01-2013, 15:18

If only the weather would play ball for us..... regardless tho.. it's a stunner, like has been said the berry is a cute extra

whipspeed · 05-01-2013, 15:26 **Thread Starter**

Thanks Trace, keeping my eye out of the window & the camera handy if the weather is good tomorrow morning or the middle of the day to get some better light. Remembering of course what I have planned for day 6.

wonderful shot - regardless of the light, clouds etc - Great job Sarah

Love the berry in his mouth

whipspeed · 05-01-2013, 16:46 **Thread Starter**

Thank you Carol

I am horribly picky, especially with my own stuff.

phil_b · 05-01-2013, 16:51

Well caught even if as you say, it is slightly noisy. You are lucky to see them about, I saw them mentioned on the news one night this week. We will never see them this far west.

Phil

whipspeed · 05-01-2013, 16:57 **Thread Starter**

Thanks, I only saw them as I happened to pop out to the garage to say something to hubby & heard an odd bird call. Then all hands on deck to get the right kit out! 2 minutes later they were gone, chased off by a thrush.

droongos · 05-01-2013, 17:00

hayley.price · 05-01-2013, 18:18

On my phone so no noise apparent haha im yet to see these down my way

whipspeed · 05-01-2013, 18:21 **Thread Starter**

LOL, maybe that's how I should look at it and not on an HD screen

vince31 · 05-01-2013, 18:34

Lovely day 5 Sarah !!!

whipspeed · 05-01-2013, 18:35 **Thread Starter**

Thanks Vince, I've had so much positive feedback on this, I'm feeling happier about it

LOL
