Through the square window
Been a bit sick over the last week so haven't been that active either on YoP or with the camera.
Working from home I managed to grab a couple of shots (feeders in view of desk
) yesterday through the window.
Not the best I know but at least the 'Blue Peter' feeder seems to be working

I know the feeder doesn't lend itself to attractive shots, but you are getting good practice. Those birds are looking lovely and sharp.

What's wrong with that feeder
You're right though - I'm new to garden bird photography and at the moment the feeders are there to attract them. I've a few shrubs and branches which I've recently pruned and the plan (hopefully) is to get more pics of them 'off' the feeders once things grow a bit - so yes - this is good practice for me as the birds get comfortable with the new fast food outlets.

Great pictures Phil and I love the feeder. I have many feeders in my garden and hope to starting getting some photos soon. We have been lucky to have a mallard nesting in the garden and kingfishers nesting in the riverbank. I only wish I had the time to sit for hours and wait for the opportunity to try and capture these beautiful birds.

Thanks folks
These ones were from about 15 meters or so at a guess. 400mm on a cropped body - images are also cropped.
