    I was really hoping to carch our resident robin, but the blighter seems to have deserted us for the time being:mad:
    The tits were reasonably cooperative though.

    Ta guys!

    The penalty I had to pay before taking those shots was cleaning Mrs W's kitchen window inside and out:dh:

    The bird table is mounted just outside the window and only about 2 feet from where I set up the camera. I use a remote release on the camera so that I can stand well back in the kitchen and not disturb the birdies. Avoiding reflections taking pics through the glass can be a bit difficult at some angles of the sun, but this morning things were just about perfect:)
    All great fun (I took about 150 pics to get a half doz decent ones) but it doesn't half get in the way of serious gardening.
