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.

Always loved robin's.. such characterful little birds, always nice to see them in the garden. Memories of the halcyon days of the early 70's fishing as a kid.. they would hop on to the edge of the bait box and take their share of maggots... always threw them some in the winter when things were frozen. Fantastic shot of this little one with plenty of food for the family.

Stunning clarity and color captured by your TZ25 of the little robin redbreast and its milieu, Andrea.

This is just spectacular. Light, clarity and composition are all superb. Sad about the little ones though.

Great shot and he is catching lots of bugs so he must have chicks already.

This is a very special capture, and the robin looks such cute and content. Thank you for sharing, it's a wonderful catch.

A lovely photo of the Robin and maybe a snack in his or her bill. I did not know that squirrels were carnivores.
