April brings the showers, May brings the sun and spring begins to bloom – well it did when I was a lot younger, now days it appears to rain until mid May. However the weather was kinder, the birds were beginning their courtships and fledglings would soon be on the scene. Thankfully no further damage to the garden, feeders etc. May’s visitors included a rarity (well for this garden) we had a visit from a Great Tit (Parus major). Last time we had a Great Tit visit the garden was way back to 2010.

Born in Glasgow, Scotland I now reside in Livingston. The journey between those two locations spans Europe and Asia. During that journey my interest in photography was born. However it was not until the digital age my interest become an addiction. Film photography was just a sometime hobby as my interests in the 80's was the new-fangled personal computer, this lasted up until 2004 when I purchased my first digital camera. The combination of computer and digital camera gave me full control of my photography.
