I did warn you there’d be more bird images to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taken in the garden and around Chorlton over the last week or so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll tenuously tie this post in and dedicate it to David Attenborough on his 100th birthday. An absolute inspiration for anybody who loves wildlife. I can’t think of anybody else who has had such a positive impact on the world. The BBC have done a fantastic tribute to him with a live orchestra which you should check out here<\/a> on the iPlayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of these images were shot using the Sony 70-200mm G f4, which is a superb lens that I’ve been using for a couple of months now and I’m just getting comfortable with. It’s surprisingly good for portraits as well as pigeons, plus portraits of pigeons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While we’re on the subject of Sir David Attenborough, I’d like to highlight my favourite piece of Attenborough related company-bandwagon-social-media…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lego, you outdid yourself here. Absolutely superb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
