The difficulty I have is in photographing them - I just have a digital camera, good but not really good enough to take zoom pictures. Usually the birds are just that little distance away and they come out as a speck on the photograph.<br />It is nice therefore, when you get a very understanding bird. See Humphrey Pheasant. He is a local of ours at Firwood <a href="http://www.firwoodhouse.co.uk">http://www.firwoodhouse.co.uk</a> he is at least 3 years old and comes shouting for his morning toast. This must be the biggest bird on the bird table. I have snapped him snoozing on this one - I think he is a-courting, comes running for his food, sleeps, disappears again for a day or two and looks at times, quite disheveled. At least he is quite in the mornings at the moment!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12994809-111641822137201469?l=firwoodsbirds.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04222515926595399422noreply@blogger.com0
