Happy Halloween, everyone! I couldn’t think of a more fitting bird than a Carrion Crow for the day, and thankfully that thought was with me during the outing…
A bit of an experiment with this photo — it was far too dark to shoot in the thick shade we were in, but I was curious to…
A somewhat rare photo of a Common Buzzard resting on a tree rather than soaring in the sky.
Much better outing today to Norbury Park — enough birds, I think, to keep us busy until next weekend. The first one is this Little Egret on a…
After today's damp outing to Alice Holt Forest, where I didn’t manage a single photo of a bird, I decided to recall one of those really hot days…
Not the best background on this photo, but I think it’s my best Marsh Harrier in flight.
Another photo from Parc du Marquenterre – this one was snapped in an open area rather than a hide. The duck in the background is suspected to be…
As promised earlier, I have a good set of Chiffchaff photos to help us through the gloomier part of the year.
I wanted to share this series of photos for a while, but needed some extra time to edit all of them. Photos are to be seen in this…
I wanted to share another photo made at Parc du Marquenterre from a very close distance, thanks to the very inconspicuous hides. This is the closest I’ve ever…
Some might remember how I was complaining about the small sizes of observation holes in the hides of Parc du Marquenterre. Obvious benefit of those, though, is that…
Last photo from our visit to Camargue in August: Cattle Egret and a pony. Cattle Egrets do usually hang around cattle; it’s somewhat rarer to see them actually…
This last photo from Nonsuch Park can be titled: Watching the Sunset. This Song Thrush was doing just that when I snapped it in the westernmost part of…
We saw this Grey Heron high up on a fallen tree, contemplating on one leg about important matters.
We first heard and only then saw this Great Spotted Woodpecker today in Nonsuch Park. This particular tree was also full of Long-Tailed Tits, but at first they…
Back to older photos we go, and where better than Camargue? Another Zitting Cisticola today, and above we have a close-up of this nice little bird. The same…
Let’s break the cycle: Great Tit here. The location is actually well chosen by WWT Arundel staff: they placed this branch in a light shaft in an otherwise…
Run out of photos from Virginia Water and back to WWT Arundel. This time it’s waterfowl’s turn, and we have a duck with a very appropriate name: Shoveler….
Thursday means Robin, and this is a fresh one from Sunday’s outing to Virginia Water. It was singing very loudly right next to the walkway, and I managed…
Long time – no Bee-eater. This photo series was taken on our first day in Camargue back in August. When I was making the photo, I thought I…
Tufted Duck is a rather common bird and can be seen in many mid-sized to large bodies of water. At the same time, if one is caught at…
