Our daily walks have expanded into perch hunting missions with frequent stops to audition likely candidates. I\u2019m pretty sure the neighbours have determined that COVID-19 Cabin Fever has affected me mentally as I traipse home carrying a collection of random sticks! Living next to a forest there is an almost endless supply of options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Silvereye-D85_5495layers-web.jpg?resize=960%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Photo showing a Silvereye on a lichen encrusted Redwood twig\" class=\"wp-image-12113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Silvereye-D85_5495layers-web.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Silvereye-D85_5495layers-web.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Silvereye-D85_5495layers-web.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption>Silvereye on a lichen encrusted Redwood twig<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Autumn foliage and berries are very tempting but some simpler textural perches can create a different feel to the image. In this series I have kept the background the same and just installed different perches for the birds to stage on. All are just clipped in place with a spring clamp in a position that the birds will use to stage for the feeder. The perches can be adjusted in position if needed and on some I do a bit of judicious pruning to provide as specific landing zone to encourage the birds to where I would like them in the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Silvereye-D85_5150-web.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Photo showing a Silvereye perched on a drooping Larch twig with cones\" class=\"wp-image-12111\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Silvereye-D85_5150-web.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Silvereye-D85_5150-web.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Silvereye-D85_5150-web.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Silvereye-D85_5150-web.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption>Silvereye perched on a drooping Larch twig with cones<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photos with Nikon D850 and Nikon 500mm f4VR.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Backyard Bird Hide &#8211; Playing with Perches.
