This fox has been coming into the garden every day recently. It usually curls up in a particular corner and goes to sleep when my dog isn’t roaming the yard. On this occasion, I sat behind the gate (about 10 feet from the fox), hoping for a decent picture. I managed to take this just before Harpur lunged at the gate and scared the fox away. I think Harpur’s just jealous because I keep feeding the fox his biscuits! :-) Photography by Jennifer Woodward © 2008
Red Tulips..Taken in my mums back garden, i kept the background nice and natural because i think everyone does flower shots with black or white/ plain backgrounds and this makes the image a little different
It’s a sleeping hummingbird ! This is very rare to get a picture of a hummingbird sleeping, I was so excited when a friend told me about the sleeping hummingbird in her garden. I ran for my camera and was thinking it’s going to be gone by the time I get there. But to my astonishment it was still hanging there, upside down. At first I thought it might be dead, but I got a few pictures of it resting comfortably, then I just rubbed it’s feathers and it moved. Never flew away but it just ruffled it’s feathers and stayed there. I was in awe. When I left, it was still there sleeping away. / I took this shot with my Panasonic Lumix on auto. /

Two little baby blue tits
The Chaffinch is one of my favourite garden birds. They are colourful, cheeky and have a lovely warbling song that always puts me in mind of springtime. This little fella, photographed in our “white out” the other day, looks to be a youngster as the top of his head is not the typical pure grey. If there are any birdie experts out there who could clarify this, I would be much obliged! Canon EOS 50D with Canon EOS 400mm L f/5.6 handheld

I am sooooo pleased that I planted this Crab Apple tree nearly 20 years ago when we moved into our (then) brand new home. The tree has grown up to provide a wonderful haven for all our garden birds, large and small alike – winter and summer. Today it was full of fledgling birds – starlings, blackbirds, sparrows, (even a squirrel!) and cuties like this Great Tit (parus major) – all waiting, preening, dozing (hard life being a baby bird) and begging for food! Wish I could share it all with you but this one guy will have to serve as the ambassador for the cause! Difficult to get shots now the leaves are on the trees, but this one obliged!

I’ve been looking for some Amanita muscaria without success but I thought I might just put up a few other “guys” I found while looking. These tiny guys were growing out of a recently fallen old stag (dead tree). Not colourful but cute just the same.

Allow me to introduce “the Wormster” and one of his fledgling blackbirds, having lunch today. Wormie got his name because he’d frequently follow me around my back garden with a beak full of worms. This was apparently his way of dropping a hint to me to put out dried worms and suet nibbles for him to feed his babies. Often when I go into the garden Wormie is out there cheeping persistently at me for his favourite menu. He normally sits on top of our garden shed, the lamppost or in the hanging baskets, and has even hopped right into our kitchen and onto the draining board demanding attention! He really is a busy fellow and dedicated dad…. Canon EOS 50D with Canon EF 70-200mm L f/4
