With admiration for multiplicity experts, in particular, @domenicododaro whose many many creations populate the "multiplicity" key word on 365. I don't have the skill to create them in PS but my sparrows must have known that so five of them cooperated in creating a fake multiplicity-shot by gathering into one frame.
I too don’t have those skills and have to rely on the kindness of the birds posing for me. This reminds me I need to buy some new bird feeders now the weather is turning colder. Hopefully the hedgehogs will be hibernating and not tempting the dogs!
@ludwigsdiana -- thank YOU for your words of encouragement and not thinking about how boring it is to only be able to share my backyard when you are showing such diversity of photographs.
Yes, the birds feel safe in my backyard because the feeder poles are very close to the fenced perimeter where there are tall shrubs with a lot of small branches to give shelter. Regarding variety, there are two types of suets, nuts, safflower, sunflower, and thistle on this pole. And yes, I am lucky they cooperated so I still don't have to learn how to do this in PS.

There's actually five of them -- one is tucked a bit behind the suet feeder, because I left in the plastic with the idea that if suspended upside down the grackles would stay away (they're mean and chase off the smaller birds) but the chain. had slipped so it was almost perpendicular and the birds had to work at getting the suet from only one side. Milanie, I do stay busy feeding, but unfortunately I can't reach the feeders except the red one so I have to wait until a tall visitor comes and helps me, or I have to drag out the step ladder to get each feeder down. Before the summer, I had ZERO feeders. All of this has been to feed my photography subject needs.
I did not realize to what extent you were going equippimg your backyard .... if you now learn to use PS to stack multiple exposures you'll get it really crowded ;-)
