Eric, in the foreground, and his pal Ernie, mooching about in the garden.

I wouldn't have posted this normally, since it's not exactly the best of shots ever and there's absolutely nothing special about it, but the brightness of the red on their faces just caught my fancy. This has been cropped, but the colour hasn't been retouched at all.

It's a wonder that they manage to evade predators, though I guess that there aren't that many predators that would think a pheasant was worth the effort.

Female Mallard at Crook o'Lune. I particularly like the beads of water on her underbelly and the blue of her wing feathers.

My other half's parents' garden is teeming with frogs. And toads. In February. In England, for crying out loud. The pond's full of frog - and toad - spawn, too.

I don't know enough about the order Anura to be able to know what species this is, so anyone who does know, feel free to comment.

About

Graham Binns is a writer, photographer, musician and software developer from Lancaster, England, with far too much hair, a penchant for odd t-shirts and a magnificent hat. He has been making things up for as long as he can remember and has been making code work for long enough to make a living from it.

He has written one novel, which is in the process of composting, and is working remembering how to write before embarking on a second. In the meantime, he photographs things, since it's easier not to have to make the world up in his head all of the time.
