Just three quick shots from the garden today, of three of our common species. Although there’s nothing very dramatic about any of these, I was pleased with the two flight shots which are the result of getting better acquainted with some of the AF settings on the 7D Mark II.

Things will start returning to normal this week. I’ll be back at work (and visiting the local pond). I’ll also re-start the Fox of the Day feature, though mostly by raiding the archive. I almost decided against a re-start but have decided to run it until the summer (which will complete a 10 Year cycle) and see how things are going then. Much depends on whether we get a good crop of confident foxes or not this year, but I will certainly be alert from spring when the new cubs are emerging.

Camera note: all photos taken with the Canon 7D Mark II and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens.

  1. I like that female blackbird photo, she is curious of what are you doing 😀
    Is it already 10 years? Oh my… time is flying, that is for sure. I started blogging in 2007 but I think I opened a blog in 2006 or so. I was uploading photographs from my first visit of Japan (in 2006) and that was among first things I did on my blog.

    1. It is somewhat weird how long I’ve been doing this. I started a website in 2002 I think, then the Opera Blog and the foxes came along… I steadfastly refuse to do a ‘rat of the day’ though. That would be an obsession too far. 🙂
