    Default Dunnock singing at Hosehill

    Was so intent on his song, wasn't too bothered about my presence.

    Lovely photo, Rolf!

    Difficult to take one of a Dunnock as it's quite a dull bird colour-wise, but the blue sky and sunshine set it off really beautifully.

    Nice shot. I was 4ft away from a blackbird yesterday and he was too busy singing to worry about me either.

    Here's another Dunnock, this time from Farley hill and a couple of butterflies.

    Beautiful shots, Rolf!

    The Dunnock is so under-rated - in song and appearance.

    That's a very 'new' Comma Butterfly I think - and the Peacock one looks especially good beside the blossom.

    We saw two Orange Tips yesterday or the day before, and a large bluish Butterfly flew over the house.

    I hope this colder weather doesn't affect them!

    Thanks Catherine, yes, saw a couple of Orange tips as well, but as I had the big lens on the camera, wasn't quick enough to capture them.

    Do you not have a small, cheaper camera like this one as well, Rolf?
    PANASONIC Lumix DMC-TZ19 Compact Digital Camera - Black at cheap prices | Pcworld
    It's always handy to have...

    It slides into a pocket easily, and Glen took this pic of a Comma Butterfly at The Vyne with it (cropped a bit here)!
