Birds Photographed Here
Very luck to get a reasonably sharp photo of this Avocet – the bird on RSPB’s logo – from a hide from quite a bit of a distance….
We had a lovely outing yesterday at RSPB Farnham Heath, but I didn’t manage to get a single shot of a bird we haven’t had yet — and…
We haven’t had a bird of prey for a little while, so time to fix that. Buzzards are very versatile hunters, which makes them one of the most…
Large parts of RSPB Pagham Harbour were closed off to give ground-nesting birds some privacy to build their nests and raise their chicks. Quite a few species roost…
This Dunnock seems to be tagged, though it was not photographed in an enclosure or anything like that — just outside, next to the educational pond at RSPB…
Continuing with the theme of improved-shot-thursday I’d like to present this Great Crested Parent carrying its chick on its back and relaxing in a small pond between the…
Continuing with the outing at RSPB Pulborough Brooks — and introducing another bird that is typically photographed while singing. And once again, I did not manage to get…

An excellent outing to RSPB Pulborough Brooks yielded quite a few nice photos to share. The star of the show was the Nightingale — plenty could be heard…
During a short picnic break on our walk, we had this Rook gathering some grub from the soil just a few metres away from us. It was not…
As promised, more sea birds — now from Chichester — kicking off with this Sandwich Tern. During the walk, I was largely ignoring these birds, having taken them…
Thursday is the day of the improved shot, and I think this one is a solid candidate. The previous version was already quite nice with a great backdrop, but it…
Following on from yesterday’s Nightingale, today it is another very melodic bird: the Song Thrush. This one was a lot easier to spot and photograph — it was…
It is getting increasingly hard to stick to the rule of sharing only a new bird each day — one we have not seen before — and I…
A very elusive little bird — the Treecreeper — lives up to its name, creeping diagonally up trees while collecting insects from the bark, then flying down to…
I have a few more good sea bird shots from RSPB Pagham Harbour to share, but will now start blending in some meadow and heathland birds too —…
