Everything’s a big job when you’re small.
This #goldcest took a while to dismantle a #spiderweb for use as #nest material.

Before and after.
I got this shot of a lovely #male #Siskin in the #SecretSwamp at #WWTCastleEspie this morning.
It was in deep shade on a dull day, f/7.1 1/500th at ISO8000.
Second image is after a pass through an old version of #TopazLabs #SharpenAI and a tweak in #AffinityPhoto.
Zoom in to see the difference in #noise.
It’s been #raining almost continuously for a fortnight here and nowhere is more saturated than wetlands.
This was a path through the “#SecretSwamp” at #WWTCastleEspie yesterday.

The #weather has been unseasonably rubbish recently so it was nice to see a #sunbathing #robin in the #SecretSwamp at #WWTCastleEspie.
Must feel good to get those feathers properly dried out
