With the weather a bit dodgy I decided to do a bit of shopping for equipment and purchased a new tripod. I am thrilled with the results, It is rock steady and has improved my pictures considerably. These were taken in very poor light but they are very satisfactory! Collarerd Doves are breeding somewhere near by and as I stood taking pictures of the Clematis just to test, this bird settled on the fence. I was very pleased to get the chance to snap a quick shot off. I love their eyes which are a great feature.
