Back in the Garden
Sunday, 25. October 2009, 23:56:34
Most of my wildlife watching this weekend was from the wheel of a car (that's the one time I don't have a camera at the ready, so no photos of the buzzards or kestrels that hug the fringes of the A23). But there was a low sun over the garden when we got back today, and a greenfinch was feeding on the mousebird-feeder.
Greenfinch
Overhead the gulls were circling, watching for predatory intruders. A kestrel flew by, but too far for more than a reference shot. The gulls proved better subjects as they came in to land on neighbouring rooftops.

The garden is relatively quiet at the moment, though the frogs are more in evidence at the moment. I think they may be politely requesting that I clear some leaves from the surface.

And a garden (well this garden) isn't complete without a fox.
The Bold Vixen
The weather forecast looks promising, and with the reversion to GMT the light should be that much better early in the morning for a few weeks more. I hope it stays clear.
Camera note: all shots taken with the Canon 40D. The birds were both taken with the EF 400mm f/5.6L USM lens. The frog and fox were photographed with the Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG macro lens and Canon 430EX flash unit.
