Backgrounds are massively important, as a straggly mess of twigs or fence panels behind your feeders will be either dull or distracting. Try to get something with even coverage \u2013 an ivy-covered fence panel a few metres back will blur beautifully if you shoot wide open. The further your background is from your photography site, the softer it will be.<\/p>\n<p>Perches can make an image. You can have the dullest, smoothest hazel branch that will add nothing,\u00a0 or you can have a gnarled, lichen-covered branch that will provide colour and texture. One trick I use is to replace the perches on a feeder with natural ones by simply inserting branches into the holes. The birds land on the natural perches and, if framed correctly, your viewers will not realise it is part of a feeder.<\/p>\n<p>If it snows, I like to scatter apples and seed on the lawn. Overexpose the snow for a striking high-key image that will capture birds such as winter thrushes and finches in all their glory.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_41237&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 820px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Christmas-Photo-Project-Winter-Wildlife-6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-41237 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Christmas-Photo-Project-Winter-Wildlife-6.jpg\" alt=\"Christmas Photo Project - Wildlife through your Window\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2014\/12\/Christmas-Photo-Project-Winter-Wildlife-6.jpg 800w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2014\/12\/Christmas-Photo-Project-Winter-Wildlife-6.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2014\/12\/Christmas-Photo-Project-Winter-Wildlife-6.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2014\/12\/Christmas-Photo-Project-Winter-Wildlife-6.jpg?resize=562,374 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Image used courtesy of Luke Massey<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Behaviour<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re offering food, you\u2019ll have more birds in the garden than normal, and this will increase competition around the feeders.<\/p>\n<p>Greenfinches and goldfinches, two of our most exotic garden birds, will bicker with each other for food.<\/p>\n<p>Chaffinches seem to have a phobia of landing on perches, although this is perfect for the wildlife photographer. They\u2019ll hover like hummingbirds before snatching a seed from the feeder. Use fast shutter speeds to freeze the wings or go a little slower to get some motion blur.<\/p>\n<p>With a steady stream of birds to your garden, predators won\u2019t be far away. If you\u2019re lucky \u2013 and the smaller birds are unlucky \u2013 a sparrowhawk may pay your garden a visit. Keep an eye out, and if they leave the kill behind they will probably return.<\/p>\n<p>Now you know how to attract the birds, where to hide yourself and what to expect, the next step is easy \u2013 simply set up your feeding station and begin your winter project.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>To see more of Luke Massey&#8217;s work head to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lmasseyimages.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.lmasseyimages.com<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you always wanted your own nature reserve?
