Got tired of shooting them "straight." The title is "Ethel, I think they forgot the cream again."

Same specs as the woodpeckers: http://www.birdphotographers.net/forums/showthread.php/122052-Woodpeckers-at-coffee-break

Still a bit of good fun Diane-which I think we really do need some time!!!! Nature Photography has got really serious I feel. certainly puts me off.
Well done.

I love titmice, they are always fun to watch around the yard. Neat concept image. Putting the spoon in the cup was a nice touch. I think it would be improved if the tip of the beak was not covered by the other bird.

Looking forward to more!

This is a fun shot. Made me smile!
Have to agree with Aidan about the beak but it is hard to get fussy like that when I know it is meant to be a fun shot,

Another fun frame Diane. These guys look great as they peer into the mug. Although I like it, The first one was the one!

I am going to have to try this bread in mug technique! Good work!

Thanks, everyone! Gail, I could separate them that much, I think. That's just where they were so I went with it, and it makes it look a little less like a composite. I'll probably try this setup again, anyway. I was expecting bluejays, who really love bread.

Shane (and anyone else), I hope we'll see what you can get!
