Peeking

Blue Tit waiting for his turn on the feeders.
The rambling rose is a good perch, and with the leaves growing now it offers a bit of cover too.

Small

River side Wren.
If only they would stay still long enough to get a decent shot! I think this particular subject could be another for the 'when I've a bit more time' pile. Work has been busy, work on the house has been busy and as such my grand plans for stretching photographic horizons in this 365 project seem to have slipped a bit. Time pressures are what they are for now so finding new daily subjects is enough of a challenge for now!

Robin
21/365
A scattering of mealworms proves irresistible to the Robins.
This is one of three Robins who spent much of the day shamelessly flirting with one another inbetween guarding the seed from the rest of the local bird population.

Dunnock

The Dunnock is often described as "an unobtrusive, small, brown and grey bird" but I can't help but feel a great affection for the humble Dunnock.

Taken whilst walking the dogs; a movement caught my eye and this little fellow was going about his business checking the moss for tasty morsels. We hear them more often than see them, so I was pleased to have been able to grab the chance of a picture.

Longtailed Tit
6/365
Not quite what I'd planned for today's picture...
I had thought today I would choose a loose theme of wood (I was thinking cut logs, bark, shavings, knots, sawdust... ) but late this afternoon whilst waiting for some old floorboards to be passed out the window (long story...) I stood in the doorway of the wood shed to shelter from the heavy hail showers. The birds had been very active, in partcular a group of Longtailed Tits that repeatedly came down to feed on the peanut feeder just a few feet from me in the doorway. Although they have become more frequent visitors, we tend to only see the Longtailed Tits when the weather is colder than usual - and they are usually very shy and easily spooked. By the time I'd got the camera (no time to change lens!) they'd more or less decided to head off but I did manage to get one picture before they left for their usual evening perch. I love these little birds, so delicate and such great little characters - I would be chuffed to bits to get a shot of one on a natural perch but, for now, a peanut feeder will have to do.
So, there's a challenge if ever I heard one; Longtailed Tit on natural perch. Right then... any tips?!!
And I suppose as I was in the woodshed sorting out old floorboards I did manage to stick to the 'wood' theme afterall!
