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.

  4. I 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!
