What a surprise by rosiekind

What a surprise

I was just leaving Priory Country Park this afternoon as I stopped there for a quick walk before doing the food shopping. I walked over to the river as I had heard a strange sound and when I stopped I just couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this fellow just sitting in a tree. He sat there for a few minutes so I got loads of shots of him and I had to change settings quickly without taking my eye off the subject. Fortunately, I have learnt where the quick change of ISO can be made because I didn't want to move my camera in case he flew off. I didn't really look at the photos until I got home and I think this is probably one of the better shots. It has been a lovely sunny day, very warm and 26 degrees. What a change from yesterday but I don't think it is going to last according to the weather forecast.

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my photos. I must go out and water the garden before we go out for a pizza later. I will try to catch up when we get home.
Sweet little bird. I like how it's framed by all the branches.
