Come and Get It

We went to a garden centre today and I bought some things to hang bird feeders on.
The poor little Lilac in the background wasn't strong enough to hold them.
Having set up the feeders and filled them with food, I waited with the camera on the tripod and the 200mm lens.
Two birds came and I took there snaps, but these showed mostly their bums.
I thought these will not do.
Being to lazy too remove the lens I just zoomed back and took the feeders.
I quite like the shot so here it is.

Olympus E-20N
1/100s f/3.6 at 10.0mm iso80 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

What a smashing "nutty" shot. Re the watches of the night, noisy neighbours etc, glad to have been a help. I see you have lately been in my neck of the woods. I just had another lok at your London panorama and it is still one of my favourites. Cheers ;-)

love the bird feeders...where you placed them you will have a nice backdrop for bird close ups.
