this little fella is getting closer to me each time

how come I can't get any photos of birds? not fair, Irish :P

Robin, I love them!

love them too michaella, such a nosy wee bird lol

aww Newfienurse, im sure you will get a photo soon

OOOOOOoooooo Eileen hes so lovely :)

I get lots of birds in my garden, but i cannot get close enough to take photos as the fly away. Think i need a camera that can take closer photo's than mine, but i only got this camera this summer to learn how to use a dizzy camera, might treat myself to a better one after xmas.

thanks Jacque, its such a delight to see him in the garden

there might be a zoom button on your camera Clarice, you just need to play around with it and see how you get on

Well done Eileen hes so bright and cheerful looking - careful you getting a bit good with these shots !

lol was worth running back into the house for the camera bonkers even tho i had just washed the floors

Ooh that sounded like an accident avoided - how exactly did you hurt yourself madam ? Well I saw this robin ....

lol aye try explaining that eh , i would be taken away by men in white coats

Good photo ~
even more so, knowing that to achieve it, you had to skid across the wet floors.
Irish ~ such dedication to duty. :o)

lol thanks TT

Lovely photo Irish.I have one that comes into my garden because I put seed and nuts out for the birds.It took ages last year to get a photo of him and was really pleased with the result but he didn't look as good as your little chap.

Beautiful pic Eileen, great Xmas card pic! BRRRRR!

its worth the wait Tina to get a photo of one isnt it, their a lovely wee bird

lol aye janey, brrr is right, its freezing here this morning, very frosty outside

We are lucky enough to have a kingfisher visit our pond, on a daily basis! Dont know if I'll ever get a photo of him though :( Someone told me its a good idea to put a post or push an overhanging twig in the pond as they like to sit and dive for the fish. Well, yesterday, when walking Bonnie, I rounded the corner, looked at the post, and there he was. I froze, darent move in case I scared him, Bonnie carried on walking but the king fisher stayed, I crouched down to be less conspicious and watched, then Bonnie saw me crouched down, thought this is a good game, charged at me and nearly knocked me over. I calmed her down, still crouched and watched the king fisher for a couple of mins until off he went, chirping, on his way.

aww Brilliant, how lucky you are to have him visit you.
i can just imagine Bonnie tho thinking you were crouched down because you wanted to play a game lol. hopefully you will get a photo of him one day

Let's hope .... have you seen one Irish? I hadnt until a couple of years ago, the blue is so bright in contrast to the rusty coloured underside. They are very shy yet make loads of noise, in fact we know when he's around because we hear him before we see him. Apparently they like to feed on minnows and we have lots of them in the pond. Poor fish but lucky king fisher!

hes a well feed bird by the sounds of it . ive never been lucky enough to see one, just tv and photos . they look beautiful.

he is lovely and chubby too, I like that!

hes well feed here Michaella lol
