      5F4050E0-5B4A-496A-978D-C35C3C2A86D5.jpeg 293B8656-F275-446A-9BEC-B237C255F6F1.jpeg Sorry to disappoint you all but this is the camera I used for the Robin and there wasn’t any fancy work done apart from my finger on the button to draw out the lens.My photos are taken as seen in the wild with no enhancements or cropping.I was going to put more of them up but didn’t want to take over the thread with photos of our National bird:biggrin: I had to delete two even closer photos as they were out of focus and it grieves me to delete them as they were so close to him:sad: I have an iPad as they are lighter to carry with us when we go away in our caravan,we used to take my laptop to download the photos onto but it was too heavy to transport:sad:
      The camera is a Panasonic LUMIX TZ 80 so nothing fancy:snorky:

              Not buzzing or flying, but while I was trimming some branches off a small oak tree in our garden yesterday, I came across these all clustered together on a twig. Not sure what they are, don't think they're aphids. :dunno:

                            The Lumix 'travel zooms' can take very good images of birds (and other stuff). Only this morning I received an email from the editor of our county's Annual Bird Report asking if they could use a shot I took using a Lumix TZ 70 I had in my pocket at the right time to quickly poke out the car window.
