9th November 2013 - Standing Guard

I filled up the bird feeders and put out extra mealworms and sat and waited for my morning visit. No birds!! I wondered why until I realised Finlay was sitting on the lower level waiting for the birds. When I called him in he went up onto the wall right under the feeders as if to say "I am on guard duty". Needless to say no bird shots this morning!!

(I think it looks better large if you have time)

Many thanks for your kind comments on my first light trail attempt. I will be having another go - watch this space!!
What a great shot of Finlay. He is just doing his duty.

It does look great large! What a sweet dog you have!

I liked your story. Oh well, maybe you can capture some birds later. This is a really cute shot, though.

Awesome shot of Finlay! He is a real cutie!
November 9th, 2013  
Great composition. It looks so perfect in B&W.

He certainly is guarding the bird table !! Well done Finley -- you have obviously spent too much time enticing & photographing the Robin !! LOL

Hmmm yes dogs are not generally good for encouraging in the birds! Lovely shot of Finley though.

A great capture of Finlay!! He's taking his duties very seriously!!

What a great story and great image to go with it -- and a wonderful portrait of Finlay, too! I came to visit your album because I know you've captured some great bird images and I have the opposite situation at my house this morning -- lots and lots of apparently migrating birds, no food for them, and no idea how to do bird photography!

Ha! What a little helper. Fund shot.

What a lovely shot of Finlay - great capture!
November 9th, 2013  
Wonderful! Good for Finlay, protecting the home from unwanted birdies!
November 9th, 2013  
ha ha, my favourite 365 pup.....he has such a cheeky face and has clearly been mischievously depriving you of your chance to get another PP with Mr Robin!

What a lovely capture. I'm intrigued by the round thing on the feeder. Is it full of peanuts?
November 9th, 2013  
He´s quite the poser! ^^
November 9th, 2013  
He always looks at you as if to say "what???" Lovely shot, gorgeous dog. Fav

@rosiekind Thanks Rosie. It is a circle of peanuts in the shells. I got it last week and I have seen a couple of starlings sitting on it. Not sure if anyone has discoved it can be eaten yet!!

@lucypics Thanks Lucy I really appreciate the Fav!!
November 9th, 2013  
@pixiemac Hee hee I think Finlay was feeling a bit jealous of all the attention the little robin has been getting and decided to do something about it!!
November 9th, 2013  
Sweet. Perhaps he thinks you filled the feeders with his kibble. Love the shot in black and white.

Good guard dog! And nice processing!
November 10th, 2013  
soooo sweet

That little Finlay is such a good little dog. Lovely shot, Pam. Perfect in b&w.
November 10th, 2013  
Oh, Findlay is such a great guard dog! Too bad he doesn't realize that watching for the birds is what was keeping them away!
November 10th, 2013  
He looks mildly guilty! Lovely shot
November 10th, 2013  
This reminds me of the old sepia photos where people had to stay still for ages with very straight faces!

Great shot too by the way
November 10th, 2013  
Well done Finlay you are doing a great job! : ))
November 11th, 2013  
Hello, Finlay! You are doing a great job watching for birds!
November 12th, 2013  
This is so much like our Jock; same behaviour and look on his face. Fave
November 13th, 2013  
Fabulous portrait, I love your shots of Finlay.
November 13th, 2013  
what a little sweetie - he is just a jealous old thing
November 17th, 2013
