'Give us a kiss then'

I spent quite a long time on my tummy in the sun this afternoon watching the hens.
I read somewhere to get a decent photo of wild life you have to choose your subject & be patient watching so they get used to you....helped that our cockerel is blind in one eye so I can creep up on him.

Three good things:
1. Sun & wind to dry all the sheets.
2. Heat of the sun on my back.
3. The Sunday papers.

Thank you all so much for your lovely comments & faves on my hen lovers! Funny but I can watch hens all day & was happy to lie on the warm grass with camera although my arm did get tired. You had to be ready as hens move so sharply & I missed The Kiss itself which did happen!
