This pair of Mandarin Ducks ventured out on an expedition amongst dozens of groups of people having picnics in Isabella Plantation in Richmond Park.
This parakeet was spotted in Richmond Park looking out curiously from its nest to the utter delight of the public.
First proper outing back at home and with this magnificent light and colours even a seemingly dull bird like a Jackdaw shines in some new colours. I have…
This Black-Headed Gull was snapped at eye level from a raised section of bank in Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve.
This might look like a stump, but it is not: it is the top of a telegraph pole with a Great Tit singing (almost) on top of it,…
Today is a great day to remember the rainy and grey days of January and February. Just to feel so much better for ourselves for today's magnificent sun,…
Very lucky snap this is: catching a Barn Swallow in sharp focus mid-flight is nothing short of a lottery win, especially in such an open pose.
Continuing with birds snapped in Korission Lagoon with this lovely Little Ringed Plover. We have ventured closer to the shore in one of the clearings and I thought…
Seeing this photo, one might think this Jay is looking at the photographer but in fact it was trying to remember from up the tree where the acorn…
Surprisingly for an island, Corfu did not have that many water birds, or at least we did not see them. Only at an occasional outing we would see…
This is a very Corfu photo: a Blackcap on a lemon tree. Very happy with this find as this was the only Blackcap we saw in 2 weeks…
Another bird from the same walk as yesterday – in Korission Lagoon. This Hoopoe was taunting us the whole of the walk: it would fly off as soon…
No more new outings in Corfu as we are on our way home now. We do, however, have a few dozen photos to go through over the next…
We had a few birds of prey recently, but this is a much rarer one – never seen before by us and this newsletter: Short-toed Eagle. Two of…
Lots of birds of prey around and birds we do not see regularly, so I almost forgot that I wanted to have a common bird on an olive…
Not the best backdrop here, but firstly, it is a very rare bird for this newsletter: a Sparrowhawk; and secondly, I didn’t have to work particularly hard for…
This Wheatear flew into view and sat right in front of us not ten minutes from the car park on this long walk around Cape Agia Ekaterinis. It…
A slightly more challenging outing yesterday, bird-photography-wise, but I finally managed a half-decent snap of a Barn Swallow, although I was on the wrong side of the sun…
Yesterday’s outing was up the tallest peak on Corfu, but since it is covered with thick forest almost all the way up, I managed only two bird photos….
