red deer, millipedes, squirrels and jackdaws

Here are some well overdue photos I took way back on the 19th December ( in Raphaels and Bedfords Park. First up are those of the red deer. I tried a low(er) angled shot

The bright sun was hard to compensate for

and I liked the DOF on this one

The bright sun did mean I could get some detail on the dark coloured jackdaw

In Raphaels Park I photographed an ever present bird, but one I usually ignore: the resident white doves

There were too many dogs about that day (one covered my coat in mud, at which the owner laughed....until he saw my face! :lol: ), so the squirrel were very wary. Still it didn't stop some performing their 'kiss chase' courtship behaviour.

Having got invert withdrawl (:lol:) I looked under a log for millipedes: ANd found some flat backed species :smile:


In the next post will be more photos of these lovely birds from that day:

Oh and HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE :smile:

Happy new year!

I like the white dove picture actually. They may not be wild but they're still very beautiful.

Some excellent shots, and well worth the wait. Love the jackdaw (always tricky), and a great contrast with the doves.
