I was just about to take a few snapshots for a certain auction site and noticed this little guy spying on me , he obviously knew i had noticed him as his face went red!

p.s. excuse the quality, it was shot through my window

p.p.s anyone know why type of bird it is?

my lens isnt that good either, it was just lucky i had my 70-300 on, shame that my window got in the way, it totally killed the image quality of the lens

there was another 2 near enough sitting in the same spot later on, i was gonna take another shot but someone slammed their car door and they scarpered

If you want Swallows to sit still for any length of time create a muddy puddle in your garden Essential for nest repairs.

i wish i had a garden

I have a woodpecker in my backyard though and it sits very still, but thats because its made of plastic!
