' bird & barbs '

This cheeky little fellow wouldn't leave the chain link fence or barbed wire topper so I had to settle for the normally to be avoided "bird on a wire" composition ... but I think it works ok here with the light blue sky as background.
 

I had captured his mate in a natural setting earlier and shared that image last week.

From a Guelph Photographers Guild outing to Urquhart Butterfly Garden, Dundas ON, a really nice little park, easily accessible, free parking and access with lot's of colourful flowers, a large butterfly identification aid and a number of birds dropping in for a visit.

Female Yellow Warbler - From a GPG outing to Urquhart Butterfly Garden , Dundas ON

 

A number of GPG members met up at Urquhart Butterfly Gardens in Dundas ON, prepared to photograph butterflies and flowers but I encountered this brightly coloured beauty making repeated trips back to what I surmise is the nest with hunger little ones. I kept my distance and allowed her space to do what she needed to do ... ethical wildlife photography trumped interfering with her duties to get a better shot.

A little while later, I saw the male in the same area and grabbed a number of images that I'll share later on social media ;-)
