This one requires no introduction – though I have just realised I am fresh out of Robins as well. This photo was snapped in January at WWT Arundel,…
This Herring Gull stands on the harbour arm with Margate Seafront in the background on the other side of it. Even though it was quite late – the…
Another notable bird on the same walk was the Meadow Pipit. It was living up to its name – we saw quite a few above beach level in…
We had a nice beach outing in Margate, Kent, with some limited success bird‑wise. While we saw swallows flying in the evening, not a single photo of these…
Cannot remember much about this photo apart from where it was taken: in the far corner of Wisley Gardens, there is a two‑storey bird hide overlooking the small…
Starlings, if photographed or seen from the right angle and in the right light, are actually stunning birds with very intricate colours. They are usually very active, though,…
Back to the archive we go – May 2024, Hatchlands Park. Nothing much to add apart from the fact that this is unquestionably a male Pheasant.
Plenty of Robins to go around – this one was snapped on Saturday in Cannizaro Park. In one corner, I stumbled upon a Robin parent with a bunch…
Run out of fresh photos, so back to the catalogue we go – this Blackcap was snapped on one of the very first outings with my latest camera…
A very loud family of parakeets – not sure why the juveniles were shouting so loudly or what they were demanding, as they were clearly able to feed…
Another short‑ish outing today with only one bird: a Goldfinch. I chose the one above as the main shot – but I also kept another of the exact…
Another case of having only a short time for a photo outing. This time it was Cannizaro Park, very close to Wimbledon Common. I have a few interesting…
Another Reed Bunting from the same walk as the previous one: in Buckland Park. This one was done from much longer distance hence including a bit more of…
I have wanted to publish this photo for a while, but previously I could not, as I had already featured both the Black‑headed Gull (the one shouting from…
Another Robin from the same walk as the last three Thursdays – Farnham Heath. Hope no one is tired of seeing Robins…
We had another Song Thrush just two weeks ago – but I am very happy to share this photo where I managed to get so much closer to…
Another photo from the Beverley Brook Walk yesterday. This Egret flew right toward us, then landed just past us in the middle of the brook and started hunting….
Today we attempted to cover the Beverley Brook Walk all the way from New Malden Station to Putney. In 3.5 hours, we only made it as far as…
Today’s visit to Nonsuch Park was a lot less fruitful than the previous one in March. I blame the scorching heat – fewer birds were around, and the…
RSPB Farnham was the second reserve we have visited in a short period where we have seen Linnets in abundance. These birds are actually reasonably rare – they…
This lovely juvenile Grey Wagtail was photographed in the Peak District on the banks of the River Wye. There were a few small mossy islands in the stream,…
This Thursday’s Robin was photographed in the woods during an outing to RSPB Farnham Heath. I like to think the bird was looking right at me while I…
Another nice find from the outing in Morden Hall Park – this lovely juvenile Chiffchaff. It was not singing, so from a distance I thought it might be…
Running a bit low on high-quality photos in my back catalogue, I made a mid-week evening outing. The usual go-to place is Morden Hall Park – only about…
There was no opportunity for an outing this weekend, so I am going back to older photos. I have a few like this one – a snap of…
