almost fledgelings
A very short clip of some thrushes in their nest in my back garden - short because the mother soon noticed me and made her displeasure known even although the clip was made with the camera at maximum zoom and I was pretty far back. The annoying sound is the autofocus on the camera working overtime. The nest is unusually low (4 - 5 feet from the ground) and urban foxes regularly visit the garden, so I'm hoping they'll be ok.

Aw they're lovely! Cosy place they found, too :)
ReplyDeleteI thought about you when I posted it Theresa! Hope the preparations for the show are going well.
ReplyDeletefun contrast between the robotic rangefinder homing camera focuser and the wee bird!
ReplyDeleteI know, it's a bit mad that manic camera work. I was miles back from it so as not to scare the birds and really was struggling to hold still at such a long zoom. I had no idea the focus made so much noise either. The mother came and dive bombed me moments later!
ReplyDeleteWel,, haven't had much time to be honest! Degree show help has taken up a lot of time, but I think I have it under control :) Hope you got the invitation.
