I've been seeing this little brown bird at the end of my garden for a couple of weeks now and just assumed it was a wren. Finally caught it on camera and am reliably informed by hubby that it is a dunnock - also called a hedge sparrow. Not a great picture - long lens through glass but the only one anywhere near to being in focus - I'm obviously too shaky for a long lens at 7.30am!
Caught this little fella stuffing his face so grabbed my camera, swapped lenses and crept back into the kitchen to shoot him before he flew away. I needn't have rushed, he was either very, very hungry or making sure none of the other birds were going to have any of his seeds because he stayed until he had almost cleared the bird table!
That little blob by the arrow - it's a seal :) I watched him for most of my lunchtime today - it was so nice in the sunshine, I almost considered taking my coat off! Not bad considering it was 0 degrees Celsius this morning and a massive hail storm last night. I considered taking my SLR in to work today but didn't fancy leaving it in the car in such low temperatures all day - I'm definitely taking it tomorrow though - just in case this little chap is still around :) Either that or I have to work out how to zoom a bit on my phone!
