So much for Great Tits – are well the best laid plans.

So the plan this morning was to try and capture some small bird portraits for the ARPS submission.  I knew just the spot in Calke Abbey  and so I set out with the best of intentions.   However, whilst I captured some interesting small bird portraits these were not the photographs that made the day.  No, instead it was the cowslips and great spotted woodpecker, hardly a small bird.  This is what happens when you go out into the real world rather than working in a studio.  You just have to go with the flow – long may that last.
 
One final thought about the title of this post.   Where I used to work they had a rather brutal filter system to internet surfing.  One morning I was looking up a web site about stolen working digs, a very legitimate search.  However this was blocked by filter as the site contained a banded word.  And the word was ‘bitch’.  It is hard to see how a web site about stolen female working dogs could not use the word bitch.  In everything context matters.
