The hanging bird feeder is about 4-5 metres from the window.<br /><br />For the birds on the table, I moved the bird table much closer to the window before sprinkling on the food. The little birds are a bit nervous seeing me through the window, but it makes it easier to photograph them.<br /><br />At one time I had a feeder stuck on the window, so the birds are really close. The problem with that is there is no way to stop the squirrels raiding the feeder. The squirrels used to sit on the window sill eating the bird food and would not stop even when I knocked on the window!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07783670557671921373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603987221487011293.post-33359870284871811802010-01-05T03:51:25.464+00:002010-01-05T03:51:25.464+00:00I'm not that familiar with identifying many bi...I'm not that familiar with identifying many birds, but both birds that you posted are very pretty. It surprises me how very close up you can get to take those photos...even if you use a telephoto lens.<br />MaureenCelestial Charmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09254781524622723594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603987221487011293.post-14234814489149587062010-01-03T21:23:28.481+00:002010-01-03T21:23:28.481+00:00I don't know much about birds in the US, but I...I don't know much about birds in the US, but I looked up Chickadees and they certainly seem to be the same family (Parus) as Tits in the UK.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07783670557671921373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603987221487011293.post-44505159846616478262010-01-02T11:36:27.298+00:002010-01-02T11:36:27.298+00:00My goodness!
