Birched

Decent day today, though largely wasted gardening. Gardening - such human folly...

Swooped at several times this morning whilst up the ladder trying to retrieve the Trail Cam. Mr Tawny really not happy, and finally landed about 6m away from me in the tree. Had to take the ladder down to get the camera.

Nice light & sunshine this evening, which is always beautifully accentuated by Birch foliage. Enabled me to get a few cracking shots of Mr Tawny holed up in an adjacent Oak - the Blackbirds going mental always alerts one to his location. He seems to be getting tolerant of me pointing a long lens at him. Good one in 'extras'.
