  14. Song Thrush

    This one was amazingly tame, so much so that I couldn't get all of the bird in the frame! The downside was high ISO (3200). Thanks for your comments this week and have a good week-end. P.S. When I was checking the Latin name, I noticed that the Song Thrush is on the RSPB's 'Red List'!!

  16. Willow Tit

    Willow Tit

    Sadly Willow Tits are on the RSPB's 'red list' as their numbers have continued to decline. It is estimated that there are now only around 3400 breeding pairs in the UK. Compare that to the Blue Tit's 3.6 million breeding pairs and you can see that these little guys are thinly spread! Many...
  17. Kingfisher

    Kingfisher

    If you saw my previous image of this bird, this one was taken a few seconds before it took to the air. Horrible day here today, thoroughly wet so no walkies, birdies or photos!

    Take off.....

    I can't tell you how long I've waited for a decent sighting of a Kingfisher and in truth this was a bit further away than I would have liked but no complaints. Not sure if he was on another fishing expedition or whether a female perched on the other bank had taken his eye! Thanks as always for...

    Season's Greetings

    This image is in lieu of a 'card' as my graphical skills in Photoshop are rubbish! So a very Happy Christmas to all at Bird Forum!! Thanks for all of your comments on my efforts over this past year and let's hope for another good birding year in 2014!

    Unfortunately one of the drawbacks of photography in the UK during the winter is poor light levels. This is at ISO 3200 and the noise is showing in the background. That said, I quite like this typical Nutty pose so I hope you don't think that the high ISO detracts too much from the image.
  21. Reed Bunting

    Reed Bunting

    Unusually, it was the females that sought the patches of sunlight while the males stayed in the undergrowth. Apologies for the criss-crossing foliage in the foreground but I don't think it detracts too much from the pose and perkiness of this lady bunting.

    I managed to get quite close to this bird. Hope you like it.

    Well folks this is the photo that I was going to upload yesterday until the Brambling turned up. I can just hear Mrs. Bully saying (in a Patricia Routleddge sort of voice), "Don't stare, dear!"

    I am fairly certain that this Chaffinch is perched in exactly the same spot as tedk's Greenfinch which he posted last week. Both were taken from the Bunting Hide at Pennington Flash, so I'm convinced, anyway. If you've got nothing better to do have a look at tedk's photo and see what you think...
