Not taken through a window (;-))

My last posting was saying hello and bird pictures taken through a double glazed kitchen window. These were taken at Scarborough Mere, a lovely lake in a lovely town and county.

Nicely done, Graham! It's fortunate the background blurred slightly on your first one; it helps make the bird stand out in the photo!
Good job! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Danilo, I moved the camera along with the flight of the bird. Just fortunate it appears to be well placed in the position in the picture. I have some fascination for birds.

Great shots Graham. I love how you capture the birds and squirrel without the problem of windows. I unfortunately have a bunch of pix that I take everyday through a double pane window and screen behind it. They come out ok, but I would prefer no interference so that they could come out as sharp as yours.
Keep sharing :thumbup:

Thanks for your kind words. I think the double glazed window business is to get the lens actually touching the window pane.
We have a Yorkshire stone farmhouse and the walls are almost 2 foot thick so it's awkward stretching over the thickness of the wall trying to balance. It'a relief when you finally weed the decent one's out and find a few good shots.

Nice series. The squirrel is remarkably sharp for a thru-the-window shot. Well done.

Treepusher,
Cheers mate. The squirrel lives in a huge tree in our garden. The window is very close to the bird table that he uses 4-5 times a day. At first if he saw anyone at the window he'd be off sharpish but now, he feeds while watching us. I think eventually I may get shots without the window between us.

I saw the boats and harbour/marina on your photo and thought maybe you had a boat. Cheers for now,
