I managed to fit in a couple of trips to Falmer Pond again today. The light early morning was dire and forced me to shoot at ISO 3200. I'm pleasantly surprised at the reasonably respectable results though. The subject is a cormorant (actually there were a pair), but it was easier to work with the one that was perched (although I did get one shot of them both together).

Still on the colour black, a couple more shots of the mildly piebald jackdaw that I featured last week. These were taken with slightly better light in the middle of the day. This time it was pecking at some grain that had been left for the ducks.

The 'brown' in the title is actually a blackbird, but a female. She was hopping about under the trees.

The white is courtesy of the local goose. I just liked the way its head was peeping over the bank as it grazed.

As for the pink there is really only bird that provides that colour, the tiny long-tailed tit.

Nothing in the garden tonight, but I've been busy re-processing some old photos of the garden foxes. There are so many to choose from but I liked this portrait of the bold vixen from early 2008.
