    White-breasted Waterhen. Not a very good shot - She was in a hurry and the light was low. Image cropped, re-sized, levels adjusted and minimally sharpened. Thank you for your kind appreciation of my previous posts.

    strutting my stuff

    these guys seem to be always on a mission..... Meanwhile, back in Surrey, the song thrush has only just finished his song from the garden tree-tops at 8pm; he's been at it non-stop since dawn. Infinite variety; what a star.

    Just about starting to develop plumage of an adult. A very shy bird. Hides from humans even with the slightest hint of them. Got this shot after many attempts.

    Had seen this one in a small wet grassland some time back, but could not get to photograph it. Disappears into the undergrowth quickly as it is very shy and evasive. Got lucky this time around. A lifer.
