Theoretically, I’d heard of the chaffinch before — but until now, I’d never actually seen one.Anyway, that’s not really the point. The thing is, this little bird turned out to be one of the hardest I’ve ever tried to photograph. It’s ridiculously restless — never still for a second. Since I haven’t posted anything in […]
Some time ago, I wrote an article about the recommended number of daily steps. I’m still not entirely sure what the “ideal” number is, but one thing’s clear — the more you walk, the better.
