Been spending all my time working on our house - we've become a little too intimate with termites and a fumigation was in order. So lot's of time in the shop looking at how to improve my backyard bird photography setup - based on my reading of Alan Murphy's Guide to Songbird Setup Photography.

These are the first few keepers I've managed. The perch is a waist-high sized upright log stuffed with suet in various nooks and crannies. The log is secured in a christmas tree stand (Alan Murphy's suggestion), so I can move it around depending on the light.
