Birds in the garden

We think this one is a female sparrow. Very coy, she was hiding for most of the time in the thick undergrowth, but popped out to collect some seeds from the ground:

Bluetits and (second below) greattits are regular visitors in the CookingWithRichard garden. The greattits tend to bully their smaller relatives:

    Basicaly,I don’t fancy birds but those three are quite cute.

    However,I like the man was sitting in the garden and trying to take a lucky shot
    whole afternoon more.

    Apparently,he neighbours’s children asked him that why he liked ducks,when he was taking a photo of ducks near his house.
    I’m sure they’re gonna call him DUCK-MAN.

    It went something like this:

    Neighbour’s kid: Hey mister, what are you doing?
    Me: I’m taking pictures of the ducks.
    Neighbour’s kid: Why are you taking pictures of ducks?
    Me: Coz I think they’re quite cute …

    I didn’t think they’d talk to me ever again after that, and the neighbour being friends with the landlord, it could all go horribly wrong, but in fact the kids came round today to ask if their football had gone into our back garden, so I guess it wasn’t all that bad …

    I spent much of the afternoon in the back garden with my big 300mm zoom lens to get these few shots!
