A bit of fun with some bird images. The birds were photographed in my garden, all dressed up for the wintry weather…

Astronomy enthusiasts will witness the first total lunar eclipse of 2021 on May 26 so it is timely for this post. Total lunar eclipses occur when the Earth comes in between the Sun and the Moon and completely blocks the Sun’s rays from reaching the Moon. This is particularly challenging for the budding astrophotographer.

The recent pandemic lockdowns prevented many people from travelling to pursue their photography hobby but, while stuck at home, photographing garden birds can be the perfect way to try a different subject.
