This little guy landed on the feeder, got a sunflower seed then just stayed there, barely moving, for nearly five minutes, letting me go right up to the window to photograph him. I though he must be ill but then he flew off and has been coming back frequently since. Odd.

Today I have actually edited and sent off a batch of STILL photos. I'd almost forgotten how, I've been concentrating on video for so long.
