dunnock

..... or How do they do that? In case you can't tell, this is a Dunnock!!! It wasn't raining, so I don't know why he shook himself LOL. This was taken in Aperture Priority days and the settings were: f/5.6 1/170 sec ISO 100 Exp bias +0.3 Focal length 185mm Max aperture 3 Metering mode Pattern...

It looks as if the lawn should have been a bit closer to the ground?

Happy Christmas everyone. Sports Mode... I seem to be using that mostly now and got into Continuous or burst as well. This does allow you to get lots of different poses, but boy does it fill up the card quickly if you're not careful LOL Anyway... I love Dunnocks, so was glad this one came in...

Dunny...posing in our garden.

Dunny...posing in the garden.

got this capture the other thought I would put it on today for sat fun

Dunnock - A highly underrated little bird IMHO

Can't resist trying to get pictures of these guys when they appear and really thought this pose was cute. Don't know if he's just fluffy, or got a full crop LOL. A rare July day when it wasn't raining! TTTW There's a real tit-fest here this week, never seen so many coming to the window loads...

Looking like he/she is saying get a move on I want my food

I always forget, until I see a close-up, just how beautiful their plumage is, although it's just shades of brown LOL. Hope you all agree. TTTW

sat waiting for the feeders to filled up

Early morning Dunnock getting the food first before the woodpigeons arrive they eat they lot

Captured yesterday in the garden this Dunnock was hopping up and down the top of the fence

Gillian also had Dunnocks in the garden. Not the best of poses, I suppose... but I did like it LOL. TTTW

Dunnock sun (yes sun) bathing

Nearing the end of the arboretum pictures now unfortunately. So mopping up on some of my favourite images from that morning. It seems like this Dunnock is showing me his prize LOL

Although not everyone's cup of tea I think Dunnys are fabulous looking birds!!

A little brown job day today. We hung about the area of the Wren for a few minutes and then this little Dunnock arrived - I got a few pictures... but liked this pose.

Dunnock - In between doing some work on our drive I managed to snap a few pics today.
