I asked him to pose and he did!

Wasn't I lucky!!!! I have been up to RSPB at Sandy again and it seems to be a regular outing for me now as I enjoy having coffee with the walkers afterwards. It is always nice to see my old friend Ernie as well as he fills the feeders up on a Tuesday.

It is very cold today but at least the wind has dropped a bit and it is not raining! I feel so relieved about my decision to stop working and can only think of all the extra time I shall have being able to get out with my camera and also explore new places with my satnav!

Thanks for all your kind comments and Favs - it is always much appreciated.

One of my favourite birds but I haven't seen one in ages!! This shot is stunning with wonderful clarity and gorgeous bokeh!! Huge Fav!
Good news about giving up work - perhaps we can meet up more often as you are not that far from me.

@pamknowler Yes that would be nice Pam. We could meet in the week which is always easier for me so that i don't leave Steve on his own

He looks like he's wearing a superhero mask ;) And that intent stare. Love the background and how spectacularly crisp he is.
