Ring Necked Parakeet

Another cold-looking bird — this Ring Necked Parakeet was perched in a tree all fluffed up, trying to warm up. It looked at me only because of my futile attempts…

Magpie

Very chilly outing to Morden Hall Park. Not many photos, but on every single one you can tell that the birds are not happy. Starting with a Magpie.

Blackcap

Robin

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Greater Flamingo

Blast from the summer past: Greater Flamingo…

Great Tit

Goldcrest

Pheasant

The only reason we noticed this Pheasant hiding in plain sight was that it moved…

Nuthatch

I had never seen a Nuthatch boring into bark until I made this photo: it was rummaging around like an actual woodpecker. Another thing I did not realise until this…

Red Kite

At RSPB The Lodge reserve there was a section at the top of a small but steepish hill which, because of the winds or for whatever other reason,…
