After shooting the Dipper, my wife and I walked along the river path to get to Watersmeet. And that’s just what it is, where the waters (rivers) meet and join each other. It was about two miles from Lynmouth and a beautiful walk and we were ready for a cup of tea and something to eat. We sat at a table outside of the Watersmeet cafe and the birds joined us for bits of food.

Thanks Chrissy
StacyLee
Wow look at those colors! I can’t manage to get close enough to a bird to get a shot like this. You must know some tricks I don’t ;)
Anthony Hedger replied
Hey Stacy,
Sitting calmly with some food to share, pre-focus with a zoom lens on a spot and show them that you mean them no harm and give them some love. It worked for me. I even had a baby Blue Tit standing on my hand and eating crisps from it. You’ be able to do this with the amount of love you have to share honey. xx
