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!

I did have six but as one flew in one flew out

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

Oh dear, in trouble again, only the depths varies.
ReplyDeleteOh 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.
Poor Trev.
ReplyDeleteNever mind feeling sorry for him ..... he's sitting on the 'naughty step' ! lol :)
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteYou can go off some people you know Susie.(:-)
