Birds can be just as affectionate as humans.

Water and oil with a dash of food colouring.

These Silvereyes just love fruit.

The title refers to the white ring around the bird's eye, they are known as Silvereyes or Waxeyes, tiny and agile they are a pest for grape farmers, this one is feasting on a small orange. I believe they came to NZ from Australia, now a common sight in New Zealand.

Spotted in one of my plant pots, this little flower looks happy despite the low temperatures we are having. I hand-held the camera with the kit lens and the Raynox 250, it was needed because the purple flower is only 2 cm across, the seed was in a mixed flower sachet so I don't know what it is...

A visiting C5A Galaxy taking off on a very foggy morning many years ago, I was waiting at the end of the active runway with my trusty Minolta X500. on hearing its approach I was ready and managed one shot, a rapid wind on, point and fire, not knowing what I had got until the film was processed...

A Sunday afternoon pastime.

I Put half an apple on a nail, held down with a clothes peg (otherwise the large birds fly away with the apple) tho object of this image is to illustrate the Sparrow's expertise in hanging on.

A cold windy day got me playing with my toys, I selected a double decker London bus and a few figurines, a sheet of black sandpaper makes a realistic road surface, all of these were shot with a 14 42 kit lens on my old Panna G10, I hope they inspire you.

I used a different lens this sunny morning, concentrating on one sugar-coated leaf, Wasps were prevalent and the hoverflies attack them, notice the difference in the yellow? The Wasps fly with their legs hanging down, the flies don't. The first one is a Fly, and the second one is a Wasp...

Flower flies, Fairy or Potter Wasps, Wasps, take your pick, I made an error with my sugar spray, sprayed too big an area but the experiment worked and attracted dozens of what at first I thought were baby Wasps, looking it up surprised me, the variety worldwide is amazing, Tomorrow I will...
