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.

With your furry children about she certainly doesn't lack for nesting material. It must be a wonderful experience to be able to witness this. A terrific capture of this nursery in waiting.

Wow! You are so lucky! How wonderful! That's a lot of eggs! Did you leave some nesting material for her or prepare the box? Or did Mama do this all by herself? Looks soft, like dog hair. Hope you'll post updates. What a wonderful opportunity to witness nature - great shot Andrea!

I empty the boxes in the winter and they make new nests from scratch. I do supply dog hair in abundance and variety, in a handy cage nearby.

Eight eggs seems to be a lot for one nest - an outstanding capture! Looking forward for seeing the newly hatched chicks!
