Haven't been far due to almost constant rain, but I took a few in the garden yesterday during a sunny spell, and a bit of macro.
A Starling visiting the Rhododendrons
And staying for breakfast
Closely followed by a Magpie
A little Goldfinch briefly passing by
Woodie trying today's special - Hovis Seven Seeds batch loaf on my garage roof
If all else fails, try lying on your back with your legs in the air. It works for Billy
Tried a bit of macro in the kitchen. A skeleton leaf I found in the garden
Nice selection BD I like your macro leaf.
Thanks Snappy. I did in on a piece of white acetate that I have with my torch behind it. I also did a little bit of Photoshop repair to some damage. If Princess Kate can get away with it ...
It worked well BD
Funny... I saved a similar leaf from the garden the other day, and was going to do it on a black background... didn't get to it, and Mrs PB binned it lol. Nice to see yours tho :o)
Thanks PB. I've binned mine now. If I find another I will try it against a black background ...
Lovely Starling and even lovlier Billy

Great pics there, Billy looks like a character, Starlings and Magpies are often overlooked as being beautiful stunning birds, the iridescent colours are remarkable … I love the macro pic of the leaf !
