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.

You should feel honored to have such a distinguished gentleman gracing your garden. Then again, he's probably just there for the free buffet. Two excellent captures.

What a beaut. We have a million common old pigeons at out school. After eating, they walk around and eat all the leftovers! I'm always amazed at the blatant disregard they have for humans. They have no fear, and basically look at us as fattened cows! Maybe they are accurate in their summations!!!!!!!!

Very impressive photos Andrea.
He appears to be standing his ground and not let your appearance bother him.

A really lovely shot of this beautiful bird. We have a pair of those coming every day. Only we have some crows, who dont want them around. But I also love the crows. They are so funny to watch, doing things other birds dont do :)

Love his expression.

Very nice close-up Andrea.
Since our neighbours regularly sprinkle bird food, the pigeons also pass by there very regularly.
