I caught a little wren

on camera today (they never sit still for a minute )

 

Well done whis4ey! They are such sweet little birds.

We have a wren around our garden but I've never been lucky enough to catch it. Actually, I've never managed to photograph any bird in our garden. Except for a heron years ago.

 

Have you heard it sing Whis4ey, they are great little singers.
Maybe in a couple of months time.

 

Cracking picture of one of my favourite birds.

 

A well captured shot W, as you say, they don't stay still for long.

 

Thats a nice photo, I always find birds hard to photo, Ive often had perfect shots ie robbins and wrens on fork handles etc but by the time ive extracated my camera theve flown!

 

For a Robin stick a fork in fairly near to where you are going to dig, prefocus on the fork handle and make a bit of commotion about the digging. Once they have found some exposed grubs they tend to keep coming back to the handy perch. Make sure the fork is out in the open away from other suitable perches and that it gives the best view of the soil you have disturbed. At my in laws I have a blackbird who is a very reliable digging partner as well. It is almost as though he knows the dog is tied up cause her barking does not seem to bother it.
