Hi All,
Not really been doing much with my photos these days, still taking a
few but not so often, however in the spring when I was preparing a
report for my studies, Kerstin came in the house and said I should
look in the carport as we have a nest in there. so I went and had a
look and saw four little beaks popping out, so I rushed back for my
camera and returned, as I did the mother flew off so I decided to see
if I could get them all together and waited, she came back but saw me
so flew off. I then got a step ladder and hid in the corner, still the
same problem the mother sensed me, so as I have a bit off a workshop I
placed myself in there and just left a slight opening for the lens,
this worked and I spent a patient few hours watching and
photographing the activities, the chicks heads popping up when it
sensed the mother or father coming back, I also noticed the mother
telling them to stay down and be quiet when she sensed I was there, I
should have been working but it was a wonderful experience, I saw them
preparing for flight and sure enough next day they were all gone.
enough type here are a selection of feeding time images

there was one chick that was always pushed down by the others but the
mum made sure it was also fed

I should have been working but I wouldn't have missed the experience
for the world
Oh and in Feb we went skiing

and in summer walking in Wales

otherwise the Gallery hasn't been touched since redundancy loomed a
year ago, it never happened but the journey has and still isn't pleasant
Cheers IanW
