Amazing how close they get, nan! O:V

But I also had a few blackbirds sitting with me for a few seconds now... not shy at all. And an LBJ which I supsect was a willow warbler
and I'm totally gutted because I could have had the bestest of pics when I usually try to camera hunt them in the foliage. 0*\

the "D" day, I put the camera on the tripod early in the morning, in front of the nest... ready to have pictures, then I stayed behind without moving, all the little ones flew toward me, and they went to the tree nearby, but I can't find them,...... only a shadow (agains day) of mum/dad and one chick 0*\

A Nuthatch in the middle of preening at lunchtime today in one of the lime trees near our balcony, but not near enough that the photo isn't heavily cropped.
