Early morning and they didn't see me so I took advantage of the backlighting

The Weasel has to be my favourite animal and my avatar too.

Mr Stoat on the hunt for Bunnies.

Taken at Bempton Cliffs, probably at about 04.30 as the sun was rising so you get that soft, warm light, which makes it so much easier to get the exposure correct plus, at that time of day you have the place to yourself.

The female of the species to my Black Grouse post.

In 2013 we had a trip back to the UK to visit family and friends. While we were staying in Yorkshire, our friends recommended visiting the Nosterfield Local Nature Reserve, a small reserve a few miles away. Plenty of birds as well as butterflies.

Lady Amherst's Pheasant in Yorkshire??? Hi all! I joined specifically to see if someone could confirm this for me! I have just been walking my dog (West Yorkshire) and am confident I've just seen a Lady Amherst's Pheasant. I've tried to find information online about them and have searched...

Cropped version of previous photo

Spotted in a field in Yorkshire, on the way to Richmond. Taken from a bus. A first for me.

same dunnock but this time from a better angle

This frame of a carrion crow looked rubbish on the back of the camera but I quite like how the feather detail has been handled.

A dunnock which came down in front of the hide, stayed long enough for a few frames.

Well it was there when I pressed the shutter

One of the 2 pairs I saw yesterday

1 bird of 4 that I saw yesterday in Yorkshire - I'll not be anymore specific as they are a rare breeder

Water rail, first one I've seen on my local patch. I'd like to say I found it but someone in the hide drew my attention to the bird. So nice to see one out in the open though. 100% crop

Taken on the Leeds - Liverpool canal not far from Apperley Bridge in Yorkshire

Spotted this Whimbrel at Flamborough Head, East Yorkshire, UK on Monday 6th May 2013 approx 5pm
