    Courtship feeding

    Not behaviour I'd had the luck to photograph before in any species. I always thought it was just a pair bonding ritual, but apparently, in the days leading up to egg laying, the female Blue Tit gets forty percent of her food requirements from these "nuptial gifts".

    Bohemian Waxwing

    Another heavily cropped shot of one of the three birds here on 25 November. I'd glanced out the window, noticed what looked like a last pale leaf on top of a leafless tree, and taken half a dozen shots just in case it was a bird. Didn't know for sure what it was until zooming in on the back...

    They've been very numerous this year, which many attribute to climate change. Taken not with a macro lens but the 100-400mm. TTTW. Thank you for your comments, and good birding!

    Taken at the care home in the aftermath of a downpour, in front of rainwater cascading into a drain. The first Blackbird I've seen this year, believe it or not. When still at the flat I heard them, but they wouldn’t show. Thank you for your comments, and good birding! John
