Caught on the hop

Hi All
       This morning I was really caught out. I was thinking of taking a trip out but was not really curtain where I wanted to go, so I thought after last nights rain I would clean the lens and the camera.

Having done this I packed it away and wondered what time high water was, not being sure but thought it was around 1300. I walked out in to the other room and there on the feeders was a flock of Goldfinches, well 5 of them. I thought that if I set up the camera again they would be gone. I was lucky as they were still there. But the normal problem of the reflection was there too. I took a few shot but two lots of glass did me no favours. I opened the door and they still carried on feeding. Great so a few more shots. Then the windows steamed up and that was the end. I had got some good shots but with bad light and the reflections I deleted quite a few.

Try these!

A flock of five
 I did have six but as one flew in one flew out


Down to four

Flying in
I have just caught this one in flight but with a low speed I was not going to do any better

And while I was standing in the doorway.

Needing a drink

Have fun

  3. Oh dear, in trouble again, only the depths varies.

    Oh well it's a Charm of GF not a flock.

    The Robin showed up at the bird table twice after these but no camera handy.

  5. I remember seeing you telling us it was a charm, but then they also say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. I rest my case!
