Quite a few Red Kites already, but this one flew in so close that it’s worth having another look…
A very short outing in Bushy Park today. I decided to try and catch a Black Headed Gull in flight with this deep blue and light green in the background….
Not the best angle to catch a Northern Pintail, as the most striking feature of this elegant duck is the much longer tail feathers, which are not visible here….
A bit of a far-reaching photo today from our RSPB Pulborough Brooks outing a few weeks ago. There were quite a few Black-Tailed Godwits around, but unfortunately all of them…
