We got a bit of breeze here today, so any shots I try could be wind affected on the tripod(s).
Done what I needed to organise for now, so maybe in a bit.
My main issue is barely anything to take photos of, other than a huge waste pile from having built the shed a while ago. Lots of tall weeds.
There are a few birdies(of various colours) fighting for supremacy, but they're too hit and miss, and the recent Tawny Frogmouths I had in tree had scooted once the earthworks started on the shed foundations.
