I can’t help it, I know I have a bit of an obsession with getting a photo of all four girls on the big perch. This is especially difficult because as soon as I so much as touch the latch on the gate, Bluebell will jump down and run to me. I think that because I protect her from Dotty’s bullying, she is extra quick to want to be by my side all the time.
I saw all four on the perch and grabbed the camera and crept in as quietly as I could but as soon as I was through the gate, Bluebell was running towards me.
Too late to catch Bluebell, but Dotty is snoozing next to Pepper and Treacle
I was willing Bluebell to jump back up but she wasn’t leaving my side so I decided to go away and come back later. When I returned they were all settled on the perch again. I managed to silently open the gate and knew that I would have to quickly snap away as I walked towards them and try to catch any shots that I could.
I have to be quick to catch them all on the perch
Bluebell hears me coming and stands up
Bluebell turns towards me and gets ready to jump down
Pepper,Treacle and Dotty remain on the perch
Oh well, that was the best I could do!

Congratulations! Now is this an end to your obsession? Or are you still going to be trying to get a better perch picture?
I am going to try to let it go now but you never know, there is always better photo out there, waiting to be had!
