First post for 2012

Well so far my plans to get out more and do some photography have gone down the pan, I could be being paranoid but there appears to be a link between me picking my camera up and the sun going in.

So for the first post it was a few snaps in the garden.

I have made the mistake of moving my feeding station and where it is now positioned is rubbish for getting close up shots, here are a couple of shots I got when the sun came out for half an hour this afternoon.

Its a goldfinch, we regularly have around 16 on the feeders and have recently brought a couple of Siskin along with them which I am very happy about.

Here are the pics, hope you like.



Until next time.

Mike.

    I'd say the close-ups are great! Very beautiful bird and so very different than our Goldfinch.

    These are beautiful shots Mike and I'm not used to see them that often ;-) I guess you will get use to the new position of the feeders and I'm praying to get nice sunny day too, for you and me ;-)
