Vacant Bird House to Let.

There's a lot of activity going on around our house at the moment. 

and I'm learning to use our new camera
so I've been taking lots of pictures'

The birds are house hunting.

But we have no takers at the moment.

This year I'm providing soft wadding for the interior.

It does look as if it's being used.

 I've been getting lots of  practise shooting moving things

  

The following photos were taken from the kitchen window.

using  burst mode. Do I sound like I know what I'm talking about ?

( new technique to me )

I would just like to inform anyone who might be thinking this is a photo shoot tutorial

you'll be disappointed.

It's just me feeling very proud of myself 

 knowing I have taken photos I feel worthy to post on my blog.

I still have a big L plate on my back.

I'll let you into a secret now

when I first started my blog, nearly a year ago

I used to get my other half to take my photos.

                                                                                                   

Do you see anything strange about this cute  little bird ?

He has a deformed leg

but he can certainly hold his own battles against the other birds.

(I call it he, I don't know why)

I've been watching and he's been coming every day

for over a week now, so thought I'd try catching a picture of him.

That was how I learnt about the burst mode on the camera.

I won't tell you how many burst shots it took to get six good photos !

This is such a pretty bird house, 

 hand made and  was a present from my daughter.

Not sure where to put it yet !

maybe I'll just use it as a garden adornment.

Last year the bird house & the enamel ware were occupied several times

  with Blue tits and the Red start.

We don't have a great selection of birds coming near to the house.

 but we do get keen bird watchers coming to stay in La Petite Maison. 

as we are surrounded by woods  only a short walk away.

I hope you liked seeing the birds we feed everyday,

 especially our cute  little disabled Blue tit.
