Last one of these for today.

I have worked out a way of getting really close to the birds in my garden, without using a hide. I hope to get some shots probably twice this close, so watch out for more in the coming weeks!

Hi Sally, he lives in our garden and he is trying for all he's worth to attract a female! He's around and about all the time, so it's easier to get shots of him than most birds, but he still won't let anyone get close, so all of these were taken from behind glass. In the coming weeks I've got some plans to get closer to all the birds in teh garden so I'll see what I can come up with.
