Today's post is all about variety. I still haven't managed to get the opportunity to photograph small birds in ideal conditions so I am not certain of the performance of the new camera and lens combination but you would assume that it is doing a good job. I spent the morning waiting for the Buzzards to come in to the rabbit carcass but oddly they didn't come today….or yesterday for that matter. However, putting the time in at the caravan means that I am not elsewhere hence my lack of opportunity. While I waited I was glad to see that the small woodland birds are coming in to the feeders again and I couldn't resist trying o photograph them as they flew in even though I knew that at this time of the year it is rarely bright enough to get a good photo. so in itself, this was a real test for the camera.
This is a female Blackbird (Turdus merula), I am aware that I have lots of visitors from other parts of the world. The Blackbird will be an interesting bird to you if you are from the USA or Canada but Europeans will know this bird as one of our most common of birds.
At home in the garden, again I had a nice Blackcap Warbler female feeding on the apple pieces. This is probably the same bird that I saw the day before yesterday.
