Birds

[ffutures]

Some pictures I just took of birds nesting in the roof of a neighbour's house - I've had to enlarge them a lot since I couldn't get closer than about 25ft but I'm pretty sure they're great tits. The first one was from the garden, the rest are from the flat roof at the back of my flat.

For tiny birds they make a LOT of noise - I think that there is a large family in there.

Yep, great tits. Clearly very busy feeding the noisy brood.

No0t half - they seemed to be on about a 10 minute cycle, inevitably arriving just as I'd taken my eye from the camera. Tonight I might try a mirror lens and tripod instead of the zoom, see if I can get better results.

Few things rival the noise of a nest full of hungry chicks.

This lot are at the back of the house, there's another brood of some sort in the tree just outside my kitchen, almost constant cheeping there too.

I particularly like that last one.

Shows how tiny it is, that's 3" gutter.
