Garden Birds

[GMES]

I just thought I would post up a few shots from my feeder that I've taken, recently. This little fella was tucking into a ladybird for lunch.
Feel free to join in.

You will find GmEs the only pics some will take is from I phones with out strapping a big lens on thier back. Lol. Still love the black and white pics more contrasting. Most new cameras have all built it filters.

No good with a camera Mate, but Bird recognition was one of my hobbies when I was a nipper.
Live in a small wooded area in Northampton, had a Green Woodpecker visit for a while. got several Gold crested Wrens knocking about, as well as Long Tailed ---- all the usual Garden Birds as well.
Had a Kestrel feeding on Mice I would love to get a Camera but living on a Pension, although adequate for survival, and my other vice, "Tools" my options are limited as well of course as the threat of bodily harm from the other half, should I dare venture to Dixons as well as the tool shops would be a Health Hazard, good post by the way ,like it, nice pics as well.

Not a hope in hell mate, her in doors is like a bloodhound as far as spending is concerned, not a bad thing , but it does curb your creative juices at times, like every September when I visit ELEX, nice while it lasts but wait till the statement arrives call me a soft touch but the silence can be orgasmic, and being Wed for nearly 50 years, She ain't that bad, kept me going for a long time.
