Here, Paul will discuss and show some of his photography.
Garden birds feeding: Taken with a vintage 21mm lens from below
Continuing with my small project of unusual viewpoints, this time I wanted to try a vintage 21mm lens (31mm equivalent) to photograph garden birds from below. I show, below, some of the results taken in early May. As before, some I find are quite amusing:
3 juvenile starlings by the feederA juvenile starling begging for food from an adult.A Corvid, probably a crow, manipulating the coconut feeder so it can get at the contents
We don’t get many sparrows in the garden so this was a welcome sight:
2 juvenile starlings at the feeder with a sparrow waiting
Another, increasingly rare for us, garden bird is the blue tit. A few years ago there were many of them so, it is good to see this one:
A single starling at the feeder with a blue tit waiting its turn2 juvenile starlings squabbling by the feederAn adult starling feeing its fledgling
I cannot determine if this starling fledgling is begging from, or squabbling with, an adult
An adult starling feeding with 3 others queuing
An interesting viewpoint that shows the behaviour of some wild birds. More experimenting is required though.

I am an amateur photographer whose photography is mostly of gardens, nature and the rural environment. My specialities are close-ups, panoramic views, or a combination of both that I call 'Nearscapes'. I work mostly for my own interest having closed my business PM Studios Ltd.
