When
preparing to take a photograph of a bird, or any other wildlife
for that matter, where possible, its always useful to consider what
your background will be. In most cases, especially when shooting
with wide apertures or with plenty of distance between the subject
and background, the background will be blurred. This will act as
a backdrop for your chosen subject. Even the clutter of leaves and
branches can be subdued and their colours used to good effect. In
these images, taken at Mere Sands Wood, Lancashire (10 February
2006) I carefully considered what would be in the background as
the main colour. Notice how the different coloured foliage, including
Catkins determines the final effect. |

I
found this female Reed Bunting very entertaining. Landing on the
main stem of this grass, she gradually edged herself towards the
main head. As she did, her weight took her lower and lower on the
grass, springing her up and down. |
