In celebration of what seems like the summer finally arriving, i'm going to post a set of shots taken on various walks and visits made recently (and upcoming), to numerous places along the South coast and here in the West Midlands.
Out in the sunshine and another very warm day yesterday, I thought i would sit and wait patiently at the bird feeder for some shots of visiting wildlife. This chap turned up and had a right old munch on the fat balls - his eyes never left me the whole time, but thankfully he stayed around long enough for me to take some pictures of him enjoying his meal.
Great shot of this young starling! They are wary at the feeders but greed will overcome their fear. It's one of my favourite summertime pastimes, sitting in the shade, sipping a long cool drink, with a telephoto lens pointing at the birdfeeders. Bliss!
