Birdwatching

I recently wrote of my new neighbours. I have a Canon EOS with 2 lenses, one is my beloved 75-300mm lens, with stabilizer. One day, when I am working again, I will buy a digital body for this much-loved lens of mine.
I can't resist photographing the magpies as their nest grows each day, wanting to capture their pride of creation or ownership ... if I try to define their bird body language as human emotion. But my lens isn't quite long enough, I need the additional distance a digital canon would give me. I'm an amateur, I don't need the superb gear but suddenly I understand a little of a birdwatcher's delight. And perhaps visiting wandermuse has opened my eyes some.

Hi Erin, thanks for the congrats, although it will mostly the same work syndicated over at e-marginalia for a different audience.

I'm looking forward to working more on travel in Europe - e-marginalia is inspirational in that regard.
