Our Beautiful Garden Wildlife

We are fortunate to live in the UK, it is such a beautiful place (apologies to those who are not UK residents). In my case, I'm also very fortunate to have a garden that's bursting with wildlife; birds, insects, mammals, reptiles and plants! Today my wife noticed that Wrens are nesting in one of our nest boxes, so I decided to spend the afternoon trying to get the best possible shots of these fantastic little birds. I hope you like them.

The first three are with the K-5 and DA L 55-300, the remainder are with the K-5iis and Sigma 150-500.

Wow, beautiful shots of that wren David. It looks as if the parent/s are taking food in for chicks so keep your eyes open for their emergence.

I sat in our garden today looking for birds to photo and in total we had a couple of sparrows and a blackbird!

Again, lovely photos.

Hey David, the first three are quintessentially superb images. I know you'd have to make a choice out of those three and I think it's the first...regards.

Thank you guys for your kind comments, it is much appreciated.

Great images David.

Best regards

What a superb set of photos. So nice to see some different poses - and I'm amazed at the size of the insects and worms !

Those are gorgeous, David. I've been trying to capture a decent wren shot for several millennia, but the quest remains unfulfilled.

I think they are all super David, couldn't pick a favourite.

Ditto to all of the above, Wrens are not the easiest of birds to get, they tend to flit about rather quickly and rarely stay in one place for more than a few seconds.

Despite the intrusion of man made elements into the image the last one is a cracker.

Excellent set David. You lucky thing. Hope we get updates

Superb set David - my vote for #2.

Yes a superb set, but I'd go for #1.

Hello Alan, thanks for the nice comment. Regards updates, time is against me as I work all week until late into the evening, so the next opportunity will be Saturday, but we are away most of that day so it could even be Sunday before I get a chance to have another go. By then they might have fledged?

Regards
David
