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!
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!
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.

Clever mum and dad and a brilliant picture. Our blackbirds have fledged and dad is feeding them whilst mum is building another nest.

Excellent capture Andrea, sad news about the blackbirds, seems they are having no luck at this time, I suspect where they choose to build the nest will ultimately influence the degree of success or failure. Good to see these one's look snug and in the protective nest provided by the dog hair from buster, a nice legacy along with some pieces of coloured wools. It's inevitable we shall lose some of them along the way... nature can be cruel along with being kind... survival of the fittest and so forth... there is usually a runt amongst them.

Very good capture Andrea Mother Nature knows what's she doing, even if it seems cruel

That was fast. I can't imagine all of them will survive. Fingers crossed. Excellent pair of images.

Oh my, what I could do with the title, but, as you know, I'm too much of a gentleman for that. From within the deep abyss, the helpless hatchlings beseech for sustenance, in this momentous capture, Andrea. I like the excelsior ringing the top of the nest.

Great to see they have hatched ,they look a hungry bunch.

All open mouths and not much else at this point; soft and sweet and so vulnerable...wonderful capture!

A super shot of all of those beaks and unopened eyes! To bad about the blackbirds!
