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.

Oh is this a surprising photo, Andrea. I love the orange-red speckles. And that nest is real art!

Blimey, the speckled Great Tit eggs nesting on Buster's remains? How bizarre. In any event, fine clarity and contrast in this stellar shot, Andrea.

The nest is a wonderful construction..great capture

The eggs look like they're nestled in a lovely sweater. Such a good use for Buster hair! :)

First class shot Andrea, an impressive nest... good ole buster... back in spirit I'm sure and there in this lifetime leaving a legacy that's helping living animals now, hopefully soon new life will emerge from the eggs... there is something uniquely poetic about this shot.

What a wonderful surprise! I hope they do better than the family you had in the box a while ago. I do miss your old water dog.

so lucky they built so cose, you can get some wonderful shots after they hatch out .. or maybe even as they are hatchig!

A fascinating combination of hues and textures. The silvery grays are fine contrast to the reds (including reds on the nest itself). Lots of dappling here. And the eggs make a beautiful center. Looks very cozy, the way you've shot it. And yeah, I assume that any fiber-like things lying around are fair game for birds' nests. You'll find bits and pieces of your life, there...A cozy intimate shot of the nest.

I love this photo Andrea and I think that Rosie's lost fur enhances the capture!
