    Red Admiral

    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!

    Eurasian Blackbird (juvenile)

    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

    Rose-ringed Parakeet

    Not wholly welcome, in that they take food intended for Goldfinches and other small birds. But they're photogenic, both species are doing well here, and in any case, according to the Natural History Museum (London): “Tawny owls, sparrowhawks and peregrine falcons will all feast on parakeets...

    Common Wood Pigeon

    Trying to get this rather large berry down its throat, and looking like it's having second thoughts. It did swallow the berry, and a few more, but seemed to be making rather heavy weather of them, pulling all sorts of faces. Taken in evening light through window glass. Stay safe and well, and...

    European Goldfinch

    Thank you for the Stock Dove comments. Goldfinches have been absolutely stuffing themselves with pine kernels, from the feeder my brother has put up outside the window. (Hopefully these birds have been bringing insect food for their young, and just come to the feeder to replace the calories...

    Stock Dove

    This was one of the first birds I saw after moving into the care home. Hopefully a good omen! I'd never photographed the species before. There were two, and they reappeared a couple of days later. This place is very near a Local Nature Reserve, which has some urban woodland. TTTW. Thank you...

    Taken when still at my last home. Opportunities for flight shots are much fewer now, though chances of a perched Sparrowhawk (at close range) must be better. Thank you for your comments, stay safe and well, and good birding! John

    Eurasian Jay

    This was the only shot I got before the bird flew. Somehow the camera focused successfully on the bird's eye and bill, bit of a fluke really. I wasn't even using single point AF. Stay safe and well, and good birding!

    Thanks for the kind comments on the first shot of this bird. In this one, perhaps it's on the lookout for one of the local Sparrowhawks, but who knows. Stay safe and well, and good birding! John

    I haven’t been posting lately because my situation has changed. I've moved half a mile up the road into a care home(!). I used to have a view of a couple of miles from my flat, but here it's just a small back garden. In hindsight it had to happen sooner or later, as the stairs were becoming too...
