Coal Tit

A very rare photo — at least for me — where I managed to capture more than one bird species in the same shot with both in focus….

Green Woodpecker

A close encounter with a Green Woodpecker revealed a detail I’m sure I had seen before but never really noticed: the cheeks of this bird are as red as its…

Blackbird

The weather forecast a few days ago for Sunday looked very promising for photography: 14°C and lots of sun. Reality once again let us down somewhat. But even…

Little Grebe

Today we have an adult Little Grebe in spring plumage — moulting into its breeding colours.

Red Kite

A few more photos from RSPB Rainham Marshes, as the weather this weekend would not allow for a decent outing. A Red Kite having a takeaway on the go will…

Chiffchaff

Chaffinch

This Chaffinch spent quite some time on a branch to ensure that the feeder below was safe to use.

Goldfinch

This Goldfinch was dining on seeds just a few metres away from the hide.

Northern Pintail

Not the best angle to catch a Northern Pintail, as the most striking feature of this elegant duck is the much longer tail feathers, which are not visible here….

Black-Tailed Godwit

A bit of a far-reaching photo today from our RSPB Pulborough Brooks outing a few weeks ago. There were quite a few Black-Tailed Godwits around, but unfortunately all of them…

Chaffinch

Lucky shot with Chaffinch caught while singing.

Pheasant

This colourful Pheasant stood right next to the hide as if posing for photos, and then disappeared into the hedge a few minutes later.
