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.

So cute and so unprotected, as we see them here. Hope their parents will come back soon to warm them up :-) Wonderful capture, Andrea :-)

What a great find! Looks like Mama Bird is going to be kept busy.

You've cracked it with this one Andrea - wonderful pic.

They're so fragile! And cute; it's amazing how they look like their dinosaur ancestors before they get their nice, feather garments. The nest itself looks nice and comfortable, in that avian sort of way. What a brilliant find!

Cool shot, I see the hair there. When my boys get clipped out in the garden, I leave the hair for the birds., well I used to, now the rats are around, I tend to sweep it up. I have only seen one rat in my back garden, in the early hour of the morning, but that does not mean they are not around.

They look so vulnerable; sweet little piece of nature. I hope the predators give them a chance to grow up!

That woolly nest looks so warm for the tiny new babies! A great shot Andrea, a view few would get to see!

I forgot about this group. Completely featherless - excellent timing my lady!

What a fabulous shot. Momma has her work cut out for her. I wish them well.

amazing shot, and newborn birds are so primal, so otherworldly. Lovely work, with that huge fuzzy nest surrounding them. From this angle, the sleeping area is like a big cavern. More beautiful bird work from you, Andrea. They're really vulnerable, this young.

Awww I hope they aren't cold.
