Hope anyone out there today had a nicer time than I did :frown:

I was shooting from behind some old scrim net at the end of an old mink shed on a dissused mink farm - one of my feeders is 15 feet from my t-pod here - and I was sheltered from the many and varied forms of precipitation that came my way. But the shed was creeking and swaying all the time and because it's open ended WOW it was like being in a wind tunnel!!

Only GT's and BT's seemed greedy enough for my sunflower seeds today and I got a handful of pics that were taken when the sun managed to show itself for ten seconds but mostly I had to use more flash than I like to.

Had to post this one though as it made me smile a bit :smile:

I know it's a bit 'flashy' but I thought it came out rather well considering :biggrin:

Comments & criticisms welcome - thanks for looking :toast: :toast:

I laughed out loud when I saw the photo emerge after reading your title! Great stuff!

A very nice male great tit. Agree with you a tad too much flash.
