Birds in the garden...
« on: 06 February, 2009, 07:41:09 pm »
Today there were 10 Fieldfare in the C.waterii tree. A first for our garden.   :thumbsup:

Posting this here (rather than Where The Wild Things) to illustrate the flexibility of a superzoom... :)  (Panasonic Lumix FZ5).  Not perfect, but not too bad for a 5MP camera.  Soon to be joined by something new though. 

36mm - note birds at the top of the tree...


80mm


432mm


crop in...


I have to say they did look a little miserable, but eating the berries anyway.

No photos, but as I cycled into work yesterday, I could hear a woodpecker hammering away.

Woodpeckers are great - not seen one for a while.  Had to look it up to check which.... Female Great Spotted Woodpecker.   :)  The RSPB: Great spotted woodpecker

Saw one on the way into work this morning - first of the year so far.  We've also got a green one that perches in next door's apple tree.  Took me forever to spot last summer, as it's the same colour as the fruit.
