Hey Dad... this is like fishing for birds. Oct. 28th, 2010

                                                             I think this is priceless!

This video is the first bird to come to us away from the door of the house.
Video much clearer once you start play

Cheeky & Cheeky

As you can imagine we all are very sad that Liz (my wife & Henry's mother) was not here the day of the hand feeding Waxwings. Especially since she is a professional Videographer with an HD video camera! Yes, Henry and I took some good photos considering I have 2 rubbish cameras! one is a old Fuji finepix given to me from a sympathetic guest that stayed at our Auld Haa Guesthouse after upgrading to a fancy Nikon! Believe me I'm thankful... but, its held together with a Rubberband! and you wouldn't want to take it out in the rain. The other camera is a little pocket Kodak point and shoot with a scratch on the lens, it has a nasty habit of over heating batteries to the point of melt down uselessness. Don't point it towards the light or sunset because the photo will be useless! making those photos all the more incredible... my % of usable photos much lower than most people. Yes clear HD video would of been nice and she did get some! but the day after and it wasn't same... the weather changed windy and grey, the Waxwings came one at a time and were not quite so hungry as I had feed them well before she return home. As my mother always says, You get what you get and you don't get upset.
