I went back and re-did the edit for this Crow as I felt they were worthy of a proper 'hero edit'. I am much happier with the end result - I think this may be my favourite bird of the year, possibly favourite photo!

I was taking some shots of sparrows on our bird feeder this morning when suddenly all hell broke loose. This juvenile Sparrowhawk descended like the wrath of god and I had the good fortune to have the camera ready to catch these few frames before they flew off again!

The campsite we're staying at has fire pits at each pitch, so I bought some logs to burn things and play with shutter speed! Learnt a lot about exposure and the use of filters for the longer shutter speeds - fire is bright!

Two much more experienced friends accompanied me to a local nature reserve to photograph some of the birds. It was very chilled, enjoyable couple of hours and I got a few ones I liked enough to share.

Went for a walk and snapped some shots of the local tree rats. Plus a pretty flower growing out of pavement cracks - fits the 'beauty amongst the mundane' vibe I want to capture.

More shots from walking the dogs at the local lakes. The robin in particular was very happy to pose for his photo shoot, very happy with him!

Got my first fast(ish) prime today - Canon EF-S 24mm STM 2.8. So of course I had to take a photo of the one of the dogs to try it out, plus a bonus flower shot trying out different f-stops.

Took the camera out on this evenings dog walk. Got some of the last flowers of the season, a happy dog with his stick and a moody crop of an overflying Apache.

Obligatory beginner Duck photographs. Enjoyed taking these down at the village pond near were we were visiting this weekend. The ducks were clearly used to people and quite happy to pose.

I liked the previous shot so much I went back in my lunch break and retook it with my DSLR. I really like how the colours came out on this one!

Taken on this mornings dog walk in some local woods. Was taken by the natural framing of the tunnel of leaves leading to the cluster of trunks in the distance. Shot with my iPhone as that is what I had on me.

These are my dogs, Theo (the golden) and Beleia (the other one). They are, unsurprisingly, two of my favourite subjects to photograph so you'll probably want to get used to their faces.

She likes to hide behind the Fuchsia bush. Not 100% happy with these, but it's a work in progress :)
