Robin

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…

Greenfinch

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…

Green Woodpecker

This photo of a Green Woodpecker nicely demonstrates how they balance on tree trunks — by using their tail feathers.

Dunnock

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…

Linnet

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…

Robin

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…

Robin

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…

Robin (juvenile)

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…

Dunnock

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…

Stonechat

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…

Variable Damselfly

Great Crested Grebe

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…

Yellowhammer

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 —…

Little Tern

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…

Sandwich Tern

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…

Little Egret

Last photo from the RSPB Pulborough Brooks outing: not so Little Egret.

Treecreeper

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…

Sedge Warbler

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…

Rook

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…

Lapwing

Stonechat (f)

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…

Avocet

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….

Robin

Long time – no Robin…

Greater Whitethroat

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…

Song Thrush

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…
