Retired and for the geeks I used Canon equipment. Started taking pictures aged 5 developed my own b&w and colour in those days. Mainly use an SX60 as it's quick and has great zoom First Canon was my trusty F1 I bought in 70 I will never part with it.

#Birds #Bullfinch soaking up the sun on my love seat. It's been so wet recently so it's good to see the sun and birds enjoying it.

The very shy bird normally decided to pay my garden a visit, the Eurasian Jay and what a gorgeous bird it is too.
There are about 170000 in the UK and they spend all year here except for the very north of Scotland.

I've had #prostatecancer which was treated with #radiotherapy. What is not obvious are the side effects. The RT damages the body and now I have #proctitis which causes the bowel to bleed and very little research done on subject. Not good it can make you have #anemia
