We had not one but two very fruitful outings yesterday, so lots of new birds are on their way. Kicking things off with this lovely Reed Bunting —…
This magnificent bird was flying low, so I managed to take quite a few reasonably good photos — and ended up with a bit of a dilemma choosing…
Another woodpecker (Great Spotted) from the same walk in Nonsuch Park as a few days ago — but this time a “proper” one, meaning the kind that looks…
Strictly speaking, not a bird — but hopefully still an interesting photo. This pair of Red-eyed Damselflies were laying eggs in one of the ponds at the Italian…
Thursday — so it’s Robin again, but this time we are starting to explore the darker side of this darling bird. First up: Robin, the vicious moth hunter….
Publishing my 50th bird, and it is getting increasingly harder not to repeat species — but I had a special guest up my sleeve for the occasion: a…
A seemingly peaceful scene of a Coot family was actually captured in the hustle and bustle of the Italian Gardens in Hyde Park, Central London, on a hot…
Too many photos in a row from Pulborough Brooks, so I will mix in a few others as well. Also, we have not had a raptor for a…
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…

Still plenty to publish from the RSPB Pulborough Brooks outing. Next up is this lovely female Stonechat — a bird whose name comes from the sound it typically…
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….
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…
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…
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…
This lovely little bird was extremely patient with us. We noticed it from quite a long distance away and started making our way towards it, taking photos at…
The Jackdaw is a bird equally common in both England and Armenia, but nevertheless I am happy to present this photo — I think it turned out to…
Now it is time to introduce the reason we went to the Norashen Reserve in the first place: the Armenian Gull. Lake Sevan has the largest breeding colony…
