This is the last shot in this series and the closest I could get without him taking off.

and closer

He’s watching me in this one but after that went back to watching for worms.

This one is a bit closer – I moved a couple of steps, took a shot, moved a couple more steps, took another shot, till I got close as I dared using a regular lens. Thankfully he didn’t fly off – think he’s getting used to seeing me in the garden with a camera hanging…

Taken in my backyard early morning – I took some distance shots and then gradually moved closer to get better shots of him – all with my 18-55 mm lens as I don’t have the zoom at the moment. He seemed happy to just sit and watch for worms and then occasionally check on me…

Daisy on Burnham BeechesHi Winston, Yes, they did get the Relais et Chateaux. After John sold, it was left empty. Now a new development is in the pipelines.
