trying out a new camera – so far it’s birdies!

After at least 9 years wi’ my trust fuji finepix have upgraded to 16million pixels and a 22x wide zoom… not got the hang of it all yet but here a few starters.

sunlight and beech leaves, soaring cow parsley/hemlock, fuzzy young blue tit, some o’ the gang (last count 21), happy duck in the river, wee cock sparra, scavenging dunnock and lastly a jaunty chiffchaff

cheeky beastie!

Captured earlier today, a furry acrobat nabbing as much as he can from the birds fatballs. Having failed to destroy the replacement seed feeder he/she has resorted to hanging by three toes and ripping through the green plastic nets!
The replacement seed feeder is held onto the branch by a bulldog clip and two medium sized safety pins – I defy the fuzzy critters to work that out!

first cards – wee birdies

In the spirit of  ‘reduce (renew), reuse, recycle’ I have decided to make a dent in my collected craft bits. So here’s the result of one evening. With the added benefit of pages of wee birdies appearing in my sketchbook. There will be more… (I’ll have them available on my stall at Gt Budworth Craft Fair)
