  1. Black-headed Gull

    Black-headed Gull

    1st-winter bird. Heavy crop, it was a fair way off. Thank you for your comments, stay safe and well. John

  2. Lesser Black-backed Gulls

    Lesser Black-backed Gulls

    Two adult birds. This was my first opportunity (since starting digital) to photograph the species perched. I had plenty of flight shots, but none perched until now. And it was the first time I'd seen more than one LBBG at a time. Fairly heavy crop, taken from 216 yards, but the light was ideal...

  4. Eurasian (Common) Magpie

    Eurasian (Common) Magpie

    This bird has been nibbling lichen. Carrion Crows do the same. It seems hardly worth the effort, but they must be finding something with food value. Thank you for your comments, stay safe and well.

  7. Eurasian Blackbird

    Eurasian Blackbird

    This is (obviously) another shot of the bird I posted earlier: it hasn't finished preening and still looks rather dishevelled. But once it found that perch, it stayed a full two or three minutes until the job was done. (SF aside, it's always good to see bill and eye in a bird photo). Thank you...

    Eurasian Sparrowhawk

    I was trying to photograph Swifts that evening, and not having much luck, when this Sparrowhawk appeared out of nowhere. They do sometimes wait for small birds going to roost at that time of day. The hawk only allowed a few shots from below before disappearing again. Thank you for your...

    Eurasian Collared Doves

    From 2017, taken shortly after mating. Since 2018, when the little row of evergreens they nested in at the back of a neighbour's garden was drastically reduced in height with a chain saw, I've seen only one Collared Dove (and fewer Goldcrests and Coal Tits). The doves are attractive birds and I...

    Eurasian Blue Tit

    Thanks for the comments on last Thursday's Red Kite. Yesterday (Saturday) the same bird, or another, was here. It was much higher up, allowing record shots only, but it's good to know they seem back after five years without one. After all that excitement, back to normal with a Blue Tit. Thank...
