Very close to our local bird hide is a peanut feeder under some trees which attracts a small number of common birds. On this morning's visit the light was so poor that I thought I would try on-board flash. Surprisingly, although the birds twitched a little they carried on feeding, thereby dismissing my fear that using the flash would amount to undue disturbance. Just 4 metres away.
1. The usual culprit at a feeder, a Blue Tit:
2. Another regular, the Great Tit:
Male Chaffinch:
Adult male Great Spotted Woodpecker:
A hen Pheasant in the grass close to the feeder:
Interestingly most display not only the catchlight on the cornea but also one on the retina.
