Great Tit (Parus major)
2021 - 365 Project

044-365v4 Great Tit (Parus major)

Today we are back in the garden (via the kitchen window). We still have a few regular visitors to cover and today is one of those – the Great Tit. We have a few of these who visit the feeding stations regularly. More on yesterday’s little puzzle picture to follow

042-365v4 Peek a Boo

Limited opportunities for photography today, so I just have a bit of a grab shot of this A Dunnock (Prunella modularis) who was keeping a close eye on me as I moved around the kitchen. They love the twisted willow and spend quite a lot of time in there, but

It's Coming to Get You!

041-365v4 It’s Coming to Get You!

It’s funny the things you end up doing to get a photo everyday. Thirty minutes ago we were putting the bins out having just received delivery of the shopping (thank you Ocado) and I had a rather pitiful shot of 3 small (homemade) biscuits to my name when Debbie mentioned

040-365v4 Pied Wagtail (Motacilla alba)

A second appearance for this little fellow on the blog (you can see this Pied Wagtail (Motacilla alba) here as well), it was a month ago so I hope you’ll forgive this repeat. S/he is a happy little soul always bouncing around the garden, even ratty doesn’t chase him/her, unlike

039-365v4 Sparrow in the Hazel

As with much of the East of England today we have had a moderate snow fall. As we are in the South this has caused complete chaos. This, of course, makes no difference to me as I work from home, long gone are the “snow days” when it was perfectly

Yellow side of the Rubik's cube

038-365v4 – Rubik’s Cube

How to make a photograph of a rubik’s cube interesting? Not sure if I’ve succeeded, but using black and white paper as a background always helps. I tried with a few different colours of paper and showing different coloured sides of the cube. I think this yellow version of the

3 Balls on a Bed

037-365v4 – 3 Balls on a Bed

I’ll admit, this wasn’t the outcome I was looking for, I had some very grandiose ideas how this shot was going to turn out…and this wasn’t even close to the result I was looking for. Not even a twirl or orb could fix this one! I also took some additional

Reflected Branches

036-365v4 Reflected Boughs

I very nearly posted a very similar picture to last Friday’s today (see below). We had a reasonably nice sunrise this morning, although I had already gone past (and photographed) my normal tree before the colours came out, so I followed my own advise, opened photoshop and did a sky

Dragged Through a Hedge Backwards

035-365v4 – Dragged Through a Hedge Backwards

We saw this little Blue Tit for the first time in our garden yesterday. Debbie actually asked what sort of bird it was as it looked so odd and it was only when we zoomed into him that we could see s/he was definitely a Blue Tit. S/He came back
