No sign of them so plowed in and left. I imagined that would be it as far as birds go but wasn't long and they were out in force, and much to my delight the 2 juniors who I hadn't seen for a day or so. It was absolutely amazing. Both juniors were sitting on the fence snuggled up then one flew off to the heap of new dirt nearby. I crept up to the remaining one and was about 5', 1.5 metres from it as it stared about and at me at length. Meanwhile 2 males and a female, dad and mum and hanger on, were also flitting about I was gob smacked as I stood there in full view only metres from the adults and so close to junior. I'm sure I missed much of the action as I don't have 270 degree vision ![]() Anway - here's a couple of the juniors (Trust I don't do the wrens to death here and we wear out our welcome! Yesterday a male plucked a red flower petal and flew off. I'll post that later) I was pretty impressed with the lens. The full res image certainly cranks out the detail Beautiful shots of the little darlings, Richard. The story of how you took them is rather touching. It’s quite special when a tiny bird trusts you enough to come this close. I have had moments like that with Robins which to this day I remember.
