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.

What a wonderful scene! Seems she's quite tolerant of your interest in her family, she must realize you're protecting her.

"Hasn't mom told you to smile with your mouth closed? Showing your breakfast is impolite!" Very nice photo. Seems mom is tolerant of you. Three little ones, one screaming "I'm hungry!" Interesting that their mouths are so wide, yet beak is in the middle, as compared to the adult "beak only". Eyes not yet open - must be very recently hatched. Lucky you! Keep up the good work! :-)

A wonderful little family unit here. They always look so much cuter after the feathers come in.

Wow the Mom sure is patient with you. Although she looks a tad awed,she still sits to keep her babies warm. What a wonderful time to capture parent and babies. You did a wonderful job Andrea.

A delightful photo Andrea. You caught 'mom' all puffed up and the young are expecting you to feed them! :o)
