Bird Brain? Wendy gave me this "fun" pres for a serious photographer of birds. According to info they take no notice of you and just get on with eating the food you kindly leave out every day.
I duly set myself up this afternoon at peak feeding time. First the Starlings arrived and sat at the end of the garden in the highest tree making one hell of a noise. I focused camera on my posing stick checked exposure and after 5 mins they flew off never to be seen again today! Later nearly dark and by now 3/4 hour standing still my 78 yrs was letting me know it was hot cup of tea time. Then the Golfinches came and perched in a slightly closer little tree, as per normal.(set 5000 ISO) One flew down saw me, the whole lot took of & went to bed hungry.
I think the Goldfinches might of been flying off laughing saying “look at that silly old bu***r he thinks we can't see himâ€.
