Hi, I'm Andrea, and I'm interested in creatures and plants both wild and tamed, and people of all sorts. I only use a compact digital camera ,as I love being able to get it into a back pocket, and not have to cart heavy kit about. I carry a Panasonic Lumix TZ series, binoculars and a hand lens almost everywhere.Most of my outings are with the dogs so I only use point and shoot.
I am getting the hang of Photoshop, thanks to some very kind folk on RR!Â
I have a wildlife garden in Bournemouth, Dorset, in the UK, and spend a lot of time there . I retired from teaching art to teenagers a while ago.
I'm now getting some good results with my digi compacts; it took me a while to make the switch from my old film camera, an 1960 ish Pentax Spotmatic, but the mistakes are much cheaper! Â
I have 4 lodgers, 3 dogs and a parrot who, as at 2017, I have had 40 years.
I has so far had 19 dogs, mostly rescues.

That's just a fantastic shot! It illustrates the endless appetites they have and why northern Alberta is so important to migratory nesting birds of North America. The vast insect bloom in Alberta's north is the source of feeding for most birds in North America. I think the figure was around 70% but I'm not sure of that right now. Other areas, though used for nesting, simply do not have enough insects to feed to prodigeous numbers of nesting birds.

Absolutely wonderful Andrea. Your dogs are doing a great job keeping the cats away.
