    Default Chiffchaff visit

    Announced himself with his easily identifiable calls, then proceeded to have a bath, unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me until he'd nearly finished. Nice to see the lido in use though.

    Shame I couldn't get any decent bath shots, unfortunately it is a difficult angle from upstairs and through the double glazed window at an angle.

    The equipment I use is a Canon 30D with Sigma 50-500mm lens. I also have a garden hide from which I take most of my pictures.

    Yes, unfortunately I can't get bathing shots from the garden, as the lido is on the shed roof. Also the little birds disappear as soon as the door is opened.
