Learning a valuable lesson

As it was predicted to be a beautiful Saturday morning this week I made sure that I got up early to make the most of it. Unfortunately, I still managed to leave late and found that the morning charge of runners and dog walkers had beaten me to it. Certain that I would not get any wildlife photographs I "contented" myself with some nice reflection shots of Fewston reservoir and some shots of the grey squirrels who are not phased by anything.

Still in a seriously bad mood for "wasting" the morning I made my way off the beaten path for my own act of nature. After a few minutes I realised that the trees around me were filled with small birds who were also hiding from the activity on the track. With so many to choose from I focused on a friendly little Robin who seemed very happy to have his picture taken.

Obviously the skills that I need to work on include "chillaxing" and looking for opportunities off the beaten track.
