Donaghadee Wildlife

Amazed by the variety of birds happy to come right up to the window I thought I’d get my telephoto lens out and try some wildlife photography. My “hide” is behind the patio doors in the kitchen so some of these pics have a little reflection or glare in them but hopefully you’ll enjoy them anyway. Click on the image to see a bigger version:
