Lovely pin sharp set.

Love the DOF in number 5 and the innocence of the juv.

I take it you didn't give number 9 the directions back to yours then?

Well done

 

[ekimeno]

Those are very good - 3 and 6 are my favs. What sort of environment are these birds captured - back garden, forest, park etc?

 

[DonnaM]

Lovely set Jo, pin sharp, a real pleasure to see them.

Smashing set Jo, only spoiled by that 'orrid thing in #9...

I like that one to. Also because it was the first Sparrow fledgling this year. Though since taking it we have double figures now!

Very Very nice indeed
Love number 8

Thank you!

Thank you! The squirrel actually had its paws on the window sill, and was looking straight at me at first. I was worried it was going to climb in LOL.

They were taken in my garden, with the exception of the Blackbirds which were taken at my mums a couple of weeks ago. I sit at my office window and take them if that makes sense?

Thank you hon.

Yeah, I'm not so keen on its presence at the moment either. I don't mind so much in the winter, but this time of year I cringe at the thought of what its diet consists of.

Thanks again all.

 

[crusher]

A brilliant set as usual from you...........I love the Woodrick ones........he's handsome isn't he? The one that visits my garden is a right scruff

 

[EmmaH]

Lovely jo, number 5 is my favourite

 

[maddog.mark]

Great set but 5 is the cute winner

Yes it does You're very fortunate to have such a wide range of birds coming to you - I'm usually hiking around the heath and forests for hours and still find very few decent opportunities. I may take a leaf from your book.

cracking shots again Jo, you are really enjoying that setup now arent you ?
