I think this falls into the conflict category. Our Coal Tits squabble like the 3 stooges (One for the teenagers😊)
A good fight is never finished until someone gets their backside bitten. Granted that might just be a Scottish thing ! #BirdOfTheDay #CourtshiporConflict #birds #ukbirding #gardenbirds

Thanks Alan. Hopefully some of the talented people on here will think about giving it a go. The Olympus software that comes with the camera lets you do composite images. I would think most other manufacturers software would be the same. The wee so and so's move to fast🙂

One of the pleasures of a summer evening is watching the Swallows shoot around the greens when you are out golfing.

I hope you realise how difficult it is to train 25 Swallows to fly in a straight line.😊

I had already posted on the #birdoftheday theme today of #grounded. However on this afternoons walk a crow planked himself down on the path in front of me. To good an opportunity to miss....until we were rudely interrupted
