    Tales of the Unexpected.

    Strictly speaking this should be "Photo's of the Unexpected", but I suspected this title would appeal more to photographers of a certain age, whose memories are still intact.


    Always expect the unexpected when you are dealing with wildlife and sometimes you will be rewarded with a photo that is different to what you expected. Here are three that surprised me and all happened within a radius of just a few feet.

        Great shots, too.

              Lovely, on Sunday I was in the hide on my own ( jOHNNY NO MATES lol)and all of the hide windows were open, I was photographing various birds with the 500 when something made me turn around and a young reed Warbler had flown in and was standing two windows down looking out at the feeder as well. :)

                    The next shot in the sequence, he hopped from the camera body to the lens and stayed there for a minute or so.
