Woody Aerobics And Other Photos

Great blog Tommy...love the Magpie shots

Superb pictures especially magpie in flight, thanks tommy.

Some cracking shots there, Tom. The woodies are clearly very much at home in your garden!
You must have a good camera to get these action shots - they are so clear?

Have two main cameras that I use.
The camera that I used for the Magpie shots was a Nikon L120 21 x optical zoom wide.
Argos have a sale and it was reduced from £259 down to £129. You play about with it and you can choose your own favourite settings. I have mine set on Sport and I chose the continuous option.
The other camera I also brought in a sale . It's a Fuji S4000 30 x optical zoom which I usually have on sport for the moving subjects. Some may say why not buy just one expensive camera but I just enjoy what I am doing
I love teaching my grandchildren about wild life so I let them use the cameras when they visit me.
I also have a old Olympus camera and this is the one my 3 year old uses. Also my wife's favourite as it fits in the handbag
Thank you all for your nice comments

Excellent Tommy!

i like the way you take photos tommy, i shall use that tip myself ~ i cant be carrying big lenses around but i do love to get the shot!
thank you.

Great photo`s Tommy, thats a thoroughly good scrub and brushup your pigeon mate was having, guess he`d got a heavy date lined up, great shot of the magpie zooming in, we have a pair eyeing up our part of the hedgerow again, I`m hoping they don`t like my end and nest further up the road like last year, they are lovely to look at but very aggressive at nesting times, little beggars kept divebombing me in my own garden when they built in my part, lol...

When I was young there was a magpie that use to terrorise our street. Even chased of the cats and dogs
