This Chaffinch spent quite some time on a branch to ensure that the feeder below was safe to use.
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….
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…
This colourful Pheasant stood right next to the hide as if posing for photos, and then disappeared into the hedge a few minutes later.
I was choosing a Robin photo to share this Thursday, and when I looked through this one I thought: surely it isn’t looking at me? Then I decided to Google…
Some lovely autumn colours with this Greenfinch. This bush was right next to a feeder, and we hung around for about 10–15 minutes and managed to see the full…
This photo of a Green Woodpecker nicely demonstrates how they balance on tree trunks — by using their tail feathers.
We had a particularly fruitful outing to RSPB Pulborough Brooks today — double-digit decent photos to publish. Starting with this Dunnock, photographed right next to the entrance. It was…
RSPB Farnham was the second reserve we have visited in a short period where we have seen Linnets in abundance. These birds are actually reasonably rare – they…
This Thursday’s Robin was photographed in the woods during an outing to RSPB Farnham Heath. I like to think the bird was looking right at me while I…
Today is the 100th email, and how fitting it is that it’ it’s a Thursday – I can share yet another photo of my favourite bird…
Back to Robins on Thursday — this time, a juvenile one. When I first saw a bird looking like this, I thought it was a different species entirely…
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…
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…
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…
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 —…
As some might have guessed — today’s bird is the Little Tern, with its yellow beak and black tip. It’s actually physically smaller than the Sandwich Tern, which…
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…
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…
The background in today’s photo is very far away — the tree where this lovely bird was singing stands on a hill, and down the slope are miles…
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…
