I spent a fair bit of time sat in the shed yesterday. (Yes you read that right. 
) I was trying to capture a couple of great tits that seem to have nested near by and keep coming for nibbles at what ever food is still out and I confess, a steady stream of mealie worms that I keep putting out.
But everytime they came near and far too quick for me to get the camera up, the starlings came bombing in like little black missiles.
I've come to the conclusion, that to get a good "bird" photo, I may have to get the frozen chicken out of the freezer
