This Space for Rent

The pause that refreshes

A Northern Flicker takes a break from the ant buffet to make sure that my Pentax isn’t about to leap out and attack.

Most impressive.

I’m surprised you could get that close to a flicker of the ground.

The flicker was wandering around in our backyard, which isn’t all the big, and I was taking a picture from the other side of the back door. It was about 3 meters away from me, I was using my 55mm super-tak, and I cropped, so it’s not as close as it looks.

55mm and useful flicker picture = impressive, so far as I’m concerned. The ones I’m used to tend to react by going round the tree because there are binoculars pointed at them from thirty meters away.
