Watch the Birdy

We bought my Mum a bird table for Christmas and ever since we have all been watching it intently to see if any new birdies would come to visit.  It has taken them a while to get used to it's presence and on Friday my patience was rewarded with an array of visitors to our garden!  It was a great opportunity to play with my new camera and my fancy telescopic lens too, so I thought I'd share with you a few pictures I captured.

Mr Robin...

... likes to visit our garden every now and again.  I saw him today for a fleeting moment before he got chased off by a sparrow.  Here he is captured on top of an evergreen tree with sparkly snow fall for my Nanna's Christmas card.  I love his fat little body hehe!  Advent treat 19!

Hand drawn watercolour and fine liner.
