My left hand

I am right-handed so if I am holding something to be photographed it is in my left hand.  As well as feeding the robin and the pheasant I seem often to be catching birds that have strayed into the house or greenhouse or, occasionally, been stunned by flying into the window and everything has to have its photo taken before release.  Over the last few years I have collected quite a few photos of my left hand and here are some of them.  I wonder what I'll catch this year? Whatever it is, it will have its photo taken.

I expect you'll recognise everything.  The only tricky one is after the pheasant and before the blackbird and is a juvenile whitethroat that got stuck in the greenhouse.

Birds of the week - Through the bedroom window

All these photos were taken through my (ground floor) bedroom window this week in the walled garden.  Most were expected species, although not always easy to photograph. 

This young willow warbler had been tormenting me for days but I eventually managed a distant photo.

Even better was a lesser whitethroat.

And most amazing of all, a sedge warbler, in the sunflowers less than 3m from the bedroom window.  A first for the garden.
