Out and about this week, I called in at one of my regular haunts to have another go at taking some photo's of the Long-tailed Tits.
Whilst standing very still waiting for their arrival, I saw a movement out of the corner of my eye.
At first I thought it was a mouse moving in amongst a log pile, I then saw it was a little Wren (Troglodytes Troglodytes).
It has to be one of the hardest things to photograph, so small and so fast. Not staying still for more than a second. Trying to keep it in view without the camera was hard enough, never mind trying to find through the lense.
I didn't have my camera settings set correctly to take photo's of a fast, small moving bird. But I did get some shots which I thought I would share with you.
Regards Buzzard

I know we have many serious discussions on this forum, but I just love the humour. Thanks Paul. Is it furnished ?

There's the option of westie hair for warmth and comfort if required :o)
I like a bit of a laugh, life's too short to be serious all the time ;o)

I agree - sometimes with birds, if you didn't laugh you'd cry - trying to photograph L.T.T.s, Coal Tits and Great Tits spring readily to mind!!!! Thank goodness for digital as I'd be bankrupt now if I was still using 35mm.
The necessity of bird-watching is a really good reason for avoiding all forms of housework.
The dust will still be there tomorrow - the birds may not be!
