A very tough outing today to RSPB Farnham Heath. The weather forecast was looking promising, but the amount of sun was greatly exaggerated and the amount of rain…
Run out of photos to publish and back in time we go to warm August in France: Parc du Marquenterre full of strange birds. Higher shutter speed while…
Last photo from the Watermeads outing: Redwing — we saw dozens of these birds during the walk.
This little restless Wren took a while to snap: I was running around this tree for a good 10 minutes trying to catch a decent shot…
An interesting outing on Saturday to a small patch called Watermeads Nature Reserve, sitting on the River Wandle not far from us. Found this Shoveler quite close to the camera….
RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch today — the annual event when people all over the country count birds in a chosen patch of land for one hour over the…

Cannot say with 100% certainty, but most probably this Nuthatch’s lunch is a butterfly or moth cocoon.
Home sweet home — a Ring Necked Parakeet was making the entrance bigger and stopped for a few seconds to rest.
Spent a bit of time thinking about how to crop the photo of this Robin. I decided to open up as much space as possible in front of the…
