Look at the combed hair on this bird! Surely this means that birds are realising they are celeb's! We've been sussed folks, I mean what are we at eh, why are we spending car loads on photographing these cheeky beasts? Wierd I say, but like a drug we've got to 'ave it.
Can you rationalise your hobby? Or do we have to? You can tell I'm about to spend an arm an a leg on gear.
So why?

lol!! :jump:

And no, there's no way I can rationalise my hobby! I've been trying for ages, but it's no good. And why should we - something that brings so much enjoyment with no detriment to others can't be a bad thing these days! I hope your intended purchase lives up to expectations!

PS - Lovely photo of the celeb Robin! :toast:

Very smooth! Quite a young cad! He just needs a briar pipe and he's got the full look!

Lovely shot Tim.I think the pose works really well and the side-lighting in this instance works superbly and really highlights that beautiful red breast. :toast: :toast:
Blimmin' expensive hobby as you say,but the pleasure it brings is worth every penny. :biggrin:
