Garden Birds


As wildlife photography can be very time consuming, this time of year is ideal if you've not much time but want the chance to capture a decent photo or two. Many different Bird species will be visiting gardens, especially if there are feeders in place. Also time spent just watching and waiting is never wasted, as you almost always see or hear something interesting.
I spent an hour or so at the weekend, beneath some trees at the bottom of the garden, and although the light was pretty poor, I managed to get shots of Treecreeper, Great Spotted Woodpecker, and the Bird above, which is one of my favourites, the Nuthatch. These are unique among British Birds, being the only species to walk headfirst down trees (though this one came down the back of the tree before coming round to my side!).
