Nik_B 3,790 Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Looks like we're just feeding the local riff raff, sparrows and the like so we'll have to put up with a Chaffinch for the day's excitement...if it carries on I'm taking my feeders in when I'm not outside 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zandy01 3,575 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Thank you for all the likes and kind comments, here is a small collection from Durham Moors area yesterday Little owl Female Redstart Nuthatch Little owl (slightly different pose) Male Redstart Theres lots good photos on here but you an coupke othets just get it right as far as my untrained eye can tell, i dont know if its yoys or ye cameras but its like seeing them in flesh, class Anymore of nuthatch by way haha always had soft spot for em Thank you for such a positive and kind comment Katchum, very much appreciated... I would hope it was the person behind the lens doing the majority of the work/creativeness and the camera/lens being the tools required... Also, having photographic subjects helps massively... I think I have posted Nuthatch images previous so probably already been seen but will keep this thread updated with whatever birds I photograph and hope others will continue to do the same... Here's a Nuthatch in a familiar pose, I took this about 2 yrs ago... 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The name's a bit misleading because it looked yellow to me lol I'm on the lookout for Siskins next and have one feeder loaded with Niger seed which most birds don't seem interested in. Our sunflower heart feeders are being annihilated on a daily basis so we're going to have to start buying in bulk as this is going to get quite expensive! I also nearly caught the woodpecker but he flew off when I got to the window but we'll get him eventually Quote Link to post Share on other sites
