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.

6 out of 8 and they're doing well! They're growing up fast! Typical. It's great to see them! I have to say that even though it's a bit crowded now, that nest still looks warm and comfy! I love this series.

Looks like they are well taken care of ! They look so cute all cuddled up with each other. Thanks for the update Andrea.

They nearly look like birds now! Wonderful!!!

That's a swift upbringing! Egg to flying in a couple of weeks! The pin feather coating is coming off fast.Great shot and series! I had thought the adults used the fat cake/balls to refuel themselves while searching for natural food for the chicks. I suppose if natural food isn't plentiful they feed the chicks whatever is available to close the constantly open gapes!

Wonderful shot

I see their eyes are open and they are already developing the classic color that makes them so beautiful! Fascinating series!

They are proper little birds now, super to watch them grow up.

I never get sick of shots like this.

Nice to see so many have survived. I remember one year when a nest was raided and I believe all the hatchlings were lost. This is a wonderful series.

It is beginning to get crowded in there - 6 out of 8 is very good! Everybody looks healthy too.
