This bird was gathering caterpillars in a pasture, whilst being harassed by a mischievous Willy Wagtail.

Interesting info: Grey jungle fowl have been bred domestically in England since 1862 and their feathers have been commercially supplied from domestic UK stocks for Fly Tying since 1978 : Wiki Wonder what is so special about those feathers..

There are six chicks. But these days the black sheep of the family prefers to forage a little away from the siblings. I could not get him/her in the frame.

It can be frustrating trying to get a photo of these active little birds.

This fellow was intent on finding some supper.

Enjoying the view from the stump of this old palm.

I was lucky to get this action shot.

If you are a water bird with long gangly legs and great big, broad wings, where best to build your nest? In the middle of a tree of course. Amazing how these birds manage to get right into the middle of trees without snagging their legs and wings all the time. This one is gathering twigs for its...

Having dropped a friend off for a meeting in Blackpool I had a couple of hours to kill. What to do? The Tower perhaps? The Pleasure Beach? Or the Heronry in Stanley Park? The Heronry won of course and I spent a very enjoyable couple of hours watching the birds fettling their nests. (I hope this...

This chap looked distinctly unimpressed with us stopping to watch him, so we took a snap and took the hint and left !

This wonderful Heron wasn't at all bothered by us so we were able to sit with him for a long time

We are used to seeing the Yellow-billed Hornbill in the Northern Cape, but I hadn't seen an African Grey Hornbill until we were in Namibia, where they were a common sight

Grey Seals (Halichoerus grypus), Walney Island, Cumbria, England. I love lying on the beach at the water's edge here watching these beautiful animals. A wave of the hand usually brings a few individuals very close to the shore. In 2015 the Grey Seal haul out site on Walney became a breeding...

This lovely little bird visited my garden yesterday. A female Grey Wagtail. This maybe the first time I have actually seen one of these lovely little birds. Apologies for the poor quality shot but this was caught by accident, spotted it looking out my window around my pond.

This guy was sitting in a nesting area for ages. I managed to snap him/her as he/she took off.
