A chilly and windy Sunday morning meant no yard for me so after another cup of tea and some warm croissants and while waiting for the Bahrain GP I decided to do a bit of bird photography. For a change I got the flash setup, I could have got away without it but wanted to keep my hand in as it were. The flash was mounted on a tripod about 3 meters from the setup and about the same from my lens. It wasn't long after coming inside when the Bluebirds appeared, there's been one or two pairs checking out the nest boxes for a while but I wasn't ready for what took place. The horny pair started fornicating on my flash head! I tried to get a shot of them while they were at it but they were too close and the lens couldn't focus that close.
The Blue Jays were loving the unshelled peanuts, the Grackles displaying and all in all it wasn't a bad 1/2 hour, I took just over 250 shots and down loaded 31 and then whittled them down to these few.
