#birdfeeder

It's a hot late #spring day and I was sitting the conservatory as #birds were flitting around the back #garden. Here's a verdant scene of the #flowering #potato #plants I took while waiting with a #telephoto lens for any #sparrows to show up.

One #HouseSparrow did visit the #birdfeeder and I got this nice profile. It almost looks like it's holding a pose for me.

Seconds later, it flew right up to within 3-4 m under the shade of a #rose #bush no doubt looking for aphids and I caught this rather contrasting, scary image of the same #bird as it might look to one of its tiny victims.

At lunchtime, there was plenty of #sunshine and #birds were visiting the #garden in steady waves.

#Sparrows and other smaller birds use the #BirdFeeder, sometimes occupying several of the perches simultaneously. But this one was solitary.

#Pigeons feed off the ground and are often seen at the base of the bird feeder. However, this one was walking along the garden #fence.

Finally, here are the same #roses I photographed a few days ago except that this time they are in direct #sunlight rather than under grey skies.
