Wingsday

Yesterday there were about two dozen House Sparrows vying for a position on the seed feeder which gave me a good opportunity to try catching them 'on the wing':

I also had some video taken a short while ago but when I used the Canon software to transfer the files to the laptop I didn't notice it hadn't copied the movie files before I deleted everything from the card. 

Serif Affinity Photo was used to crop and lighten the photos. I also used a filter which goes by the title 'Unsharpen Mask' which actually sharpens the photos.

  2. T~hey have finally stopped breeding here from the nests in the eaves. Suspect some of them must have had three plus clutches, although where the fledgelings went no idea. Probably merged straight into the cheeping crowd in the tree outside my window.

    1. SDT: They have a couple of areas here where they congregate. First light they are deafening.

    1. Wilma: Photoing them at rest is relatively easy. It makes a change to have a challenge.
