Here you go Steve .. a Swallow in the rain and gloom of this morning
-
Caught a pair of Goldcrest displaying yesterday, tiny little bird, always on the move
-
They will be sheltering from the snow, thinking look at that daft lump stood out in this
-
A male Sparrowhawk landed on the top of the feeder rail for a nano second, unfortunately for him the smaller birds had seen him coming and all found somewhere to hide. I do love their eyes ... and look at those feet ... menacing
-
We thought that squirrels were responsible for the damage to this dead tree, turns out we were wrong
-
We had one at Belvide a couple of years ago, one chap could not find it and asked where it was, I gave him general directions to it's location but he could not find it, so I put it in his scopes field of view ... he still couldn't see it
-
It is a Bittern Peter ... and pretty difficult to find when they stand still amongst the reeds, quite a scarce bird to get over our way
-
What a dull grey day, never mind this Teal kindly did a low level fly by
-
The other camera is close and wide angled, you can tell by the large depth of field where everything is in focus, it could easily have been on a remote and operated by the guy in the shot.

I am not that tall standing up That's tea all over the keyboard again
-
Duck or Rabbit ... you decide
-
There were about a dozen of them, there are good numbers of them around the reserve
-
Like a blob of candy floss on a stick, the cute and adorable Long Tailed Tit
-
New Years Day I got a distant flight snap of a Glossy Ibis, I was just testing some settings for flight shots and as it was still pretty gloomy, and the bird distant I had not really clocked what it was looking through the viewfinder, then I zoomed in on it on the back screen ... that really pissed off the regular birders who had all left the hide about five minutes before it flew over. I don't keep a list of birds Steve, I do this as a hobby ... I count things for my job
-
A male & female Siskin out in the rain ... bet they wished they had stayed at home for the winter
-
Cheers Russell ... here is a cute little Marsh Tit
-
Nice job Russell ... better have a Kingy then to welcome the new thread ... From 1/1/2016 This one got really close, less than 10m away
-
Cheers Steve ... been pretty naff weather here as well, I have been out a couple of times and come home without any worthwhile shots, Saturday it was that gloomy I was taking shots of the Kingfisher @ 1/30 of a second ISO 12800, not ideal to say the least.
-
We always clear an opening in the fraggies in front of the hide at the end of the Autumn, this year we made it a bit bigger which seems to have paid off with some regular visits from the Kingfishers, this young lady was on show for quite a while this morning, to start with when it was still pretty dark, then she came back when the light improved, unfortunately she failed to re-appear when it really brightened up ... never mind there is always next time
-
Steve, nothing you can do about them hiding in trees, especially Owls, they would be buggers to play hide and seek with. That is a rare bird to see, so any photo of it is a bonus
-
Here is a Green Woodpecker that was in my back garden in the week,shame it was a dull day. This was taken through our back bedroom window
-
I know his stuff, he used to post on the same photography forum I did
-
That Kingfisher shot was in the Daily Mail, it was taken by Alan McFadyen. The Kingfisher is diving into a glass tank that is full of small fish, ... still a nice shot, it has been causing a fair few rows on facebook as to the rights and wrongs of the method used to get it.
-
Steve the human tripod ... ooh errr misses Anyway ... a couple of Turnstones enjoying a break in Lanzarote
-
More holiday snaps ... stood on our terrace taking these
