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.

Pigeon pie anyone. I can top your count, we get a herd of these chaps up our field I lost count at 50 but they are so skity I can't get near enough to get a decent shot, I just hope they don't fancy cherry tree buds when they start to pop.

I think their iridescent feathers are lovely; maybe that's what they use to distract us while they steal our sandwiches! Wonderful shot!

Wonderful! I like it that one is lower, one is backwards ... it adds just the right note.

Doing their best imitations of vultures. Terrific shot. I saw pigeons in Amsterdam. They were the size of cats and so fat I wondered how they could fly.

I like Ronnie's description, flying rats, LOL! I like them because they are not a pest around my territory, but I do believe they are probably the dumbest bird around.
