I have no interest in technical photography and know precious little about the settings on a camera, so it's auto all the way!
I suppose I'm an 'Opportunist', as I usually have the camera within grabbing distance, and click away.
Here's a selection of birds reared in our garden this year. Plus one lookeroner!
A young female Greater Spotted Woodpecker.

...with the father (Red cap)

A curious young Robin.

A young trio - Robin, Great Tit and a female Woodpecker.

Kestral. This was about 70yds away on a power line.
![DSC01455 (2).JPG DSC01455 (2).JPG](https://www.scale-models.co.uk/data/attachments/223/223106-cbb3892b082eb4ad4461e140854c60d3.jpg)
Young Song Thrushes. There were 5 in the brood, all reared successfully.
![DSC01995 (2).JPG DSC01995 (2).JPG](https://www.scale-models.co.uk/data/attachments/223/223107-45953eb1d4409192bdd2be8a03699866.jpg)
Two young Blackbirds with the parent. Four were reared in total.

I've never seen a Woodpecker with such a small amount of red. Normally, the whole of the top is red on a male bird. No red on a female, so what's going on here is anyone's guess....The young Robin is confused too.
![DSC02041 (2).JPG DSC02041 (2).JPG](https://www.scale-models.co.uk/data/attachments/223/223109-ad0373c2fb60034cc87b470cca81446c.jpg)
Five young Blue Tits. At this early age they have no fear, and I managed to get within a couple of feet before they started to get twitchy.

Such luck. Three Woodpeckers!
![DSC02001 (2).JPG DSC02001 (2).JPG](https://www.scale-models.co.uk/data/attachments/223/223111-e57b14c9e8857c5ed2ec8b6ef383c23e.jpg)
Who's that idiot in there with a camera?! This was taken through our conservatory window
![DSC02005 (2).JPG DSC02005 (2).JPG](https://www.scale-models.co.uk/data/attachments/223/223112-d1a57712da9aef08cfb67d7016ddd67f.jpg)
Same post a few minutes later. a young Robin with a snack.

Don't look at me for food, I'm your brother!

I don't want to overload, but there's a few more pictures if anyone would like to see them.
Cheers.
