Continuing with the usual suspects: until this occasion, when I saw a Coal Tit next to Blue and Great Tits, I hadn’t realised just how much smaller they are. This…
All the usual suspects were available for photographing in the hide on the far side of RHS Wisley. Still worth sharing, as these are some of the closest…
Don’t think I’ve ever seen or photographed such a chilled Pheasant. RHS Wisley is not exactly a wild patch of land, and this specimen was nibbling grass not 5…
Not my sharpest Goldcrest photo, but I really liked how well the golden crest of the bird goes with the patches on the tree.
Last photo from the Hogsmill Local Nature Reserve. A small scene from the everyday life of Feral Pigeons…
I know we had a Ring Necked Parakeet recently, but this one was very interactive and I thought I’d share what I managed to capture. It landed on this tree…
Had a good morning outing in a narrow but long strip of green in Tolworth called Hogsmill Local Nature Reserve. Managed a few interesting scenes which I’ll share…
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…
Another bird snapped from the exact same spot as the last two. I love this photo for the feeling of inevitable movement — the Blue Tit flew off about a…

What a day for photography today: crisp, bright, full of colour and with no need to travel far for any of it. We had a great outing to…
