Bird bonanza
As I said yesterday, I expected there to be more birds and as it turned out, there were. Constant traffic! I sat in the blind for two hours, shot 213 frames and kept… 9. I wouldn’t be doing this with film! Normally I’m happy if I just get something which is sharp and correctly exposed when I’m photographing birds, but too much is too much so I started throwing away some technically good pictures as well. I expect the numbers to get even worse in the future, the more pictures I have a of a species, the more selective I can get… at the moment it’s mostly great tits, it came to a point where I decided that I won’t shoot any more great tits and just waited for the other birds. I was happy to get a few good frames of a willow tit and a blue tit, but the nuthatches and coal tits avoided my perches as yet. No sign of the crested tit so far, I hope it’s still around though.
So all I’ll have to post until the snow arrives is birds. You have been warned.

The winter is making itself heard. Or seen. We got quite a few days with snowfall and twice we ever got a snow cover to speak of, but because the temperatures were constantly hovering around zero, the snow was gone overnight or during the day so I didn’t have any snow left at my snow meter. The rain millimeters contain some melt snow though.
