Debbie's Photoblog
Waxeye week I
Posted by jamesy (christchurch, New Zealand) on 17 August 2009 in Animal & Insect.
this week I thought I would show you a selection of photos of waxeyes that are feeding at our bird feeder over the winter
I really enjoy taking photos and would appreciate your feedback so that I can learn as I go. I particularly enjoy photographing birds animals and landscapes

Hay Debbie, hope you are well my friend:-)
This is a wonderful image, really sharp! I can see looking back that you have mastered the art of closeup with your birds! Fantastic work. Hope to see you soon!
