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.

Wood pigeons are inherently amusing, they seem to look so clumsy on the roost perch or ground, but in the air? Oh boy can they move. Super capture Andrea

Terrific series! Wet is nice. The weather report for the town we'll be in next week was promising a bit of rain, but they've reneged. I'll enjoy this vicariously!

lol, great capture!

Interesting sequence of pics, depicting the hygiene minded avian resolutely cleansing its feathered bod, Andrea. After several months of drought, I would like it wet around here myself.

A wonderful triptych. You've got to look your best if you want to attract a mate. Some people call them 'rats with wings' but I have developed a real fondness for them.

He looks all puffed up from the wet weather, usually when I have come across these they tend to be in pairs. Lovely captures.
