Excluding a very short spell of promotional photography at university for a dramatic production, this is the first time I have had someone stand in front of the camera with the specific aim of them being the subject of the picture. I'd not directed a model, and suddenly I had two. Practice, practice, practice!
I love how the tits land, glance around, then peck at a small seed and fly away in a hurry; the robin lands and nibbles away in comfort; the nuthatches land, pick up the biggest peanut, strut around for a moment before taking off. They all have their own style and preference.
