He and wife Louise had been 定期的に feeding their red-breasted 訪問者 - the bird has a young family and a taste for suet pellets - for some time when Mr Crabb realised feeding time 申し込む／申し出d a perfect photographic 適切な時期 .

He 示すd the feeding 位置／汚点／見つけ出す with a garden 茎 in the lawn, then 始める，決める up a camera with a telephoto レンズ about 23ft away, pre-焦点（を合わせる）ing the camera.

Then he ran a cable to the camera so he could 誘発する／引き起こす a remote 解放（する）.

The 残り／休憩（する） relies on the communication built on familiarity between man and bird.

'When I 料金d him with my 権利 手渡す I have the switch in my left

'We have an 協定 it seems,' said Mr Crabb. 'If I go and stand in the feeding place he comes and sits in a nearby tree, then when I raise my 手渡す he 飛行機で行くs 負かす／撃墜する and I 圧力（をかける） the switch as he approaches.'

Mr Crabb is photographing his garden 訪問者 almost every day at the moment, bu t he thinks that will soon end when the bird's fledgling offspring can fend for themselves.
