There Be Gold In Our Garden

While waiting for the folks from the window company to come and replace some dodgy handels, I noticed gold flashing about in the garden.

Yep, it's taken over 18 months but I've finally persuaded some goldfinch to come to our garden as well as next door.

The chaffinch wasn't too sure and sat on the fence while he decided who had the best spread.

Thanks for all your kind comments, swelling of head is going down
slowly lol.

Barb, I used my Nikon D50 SLR digital camera for these shots, a lot o money but well worth it for shots like these because it's so fast and accurate.

Are gorillas allowed in your garden?

Barb, I've not realy looked at the D40, it came out just after I got my D50. Seems to be a good price though. I've got the 18-55mm lens too but I got a package that also included a Sigma 70-300mm zoom/macro lens which I use for the bird shots.

Paul.
