yellowhammer

Another Yellowhammer. Trying to capture this species most of this year when I could hear them, but could never approach before they flew off. In early August this year I was surprised to find the birds were very close and in abundance: some were easy to approach but difficult to photograph...

Well Peeps, Its post and run for me this morning. We are back on the trains again, off to Lakenheath in preparation for my Dad's funeral tomorrow. Hopefully I will catch up with y'all when we get there later today. But please understand that I will be absent from BF tomorrow.

Taken while I was on holiday. We were scouring the fileds on the Black Isle, Scotland, for Dotterel when we spotted this beauty beside the road.

Well Peeps, A change from my USA bird pics today. Yesterday I managed a couple of hours on Lakenheath Warren in between hospital visits. Not a whole lot about, but plenty of these beauties.

There are quite a few birds I prefer capturing while they are perched on a tree rather than on the ground, even though they are often half hidden by the foliage and maybe further away. This is one example.

On the hills in cold weather

Quite a distant shot this un, but still a cracking bird, and a nice blue sky to boot.
