Bank Holiday Weekend

I lied about my Tree Creeper obsession being at an end. Quite pleased with my latest shot on the right. Also got a marginally better Goldcrest photo.

Other than that, a poor weekend for bird photography. Mostly spent watching Morris Dancing.

Evening

Took a photo of the clouds this evening from my study window. You probably need a wide monitor to see it.

Not Birds

Saw Kingfishers this morning, but no photos. However, did spot a Water Vole. And then this afternoon, spotted a toad. These sightings have prompted me to add a Not Birds Photo Page to the sight. Two photos on the right, the rest on the new page.

My obsession with photographing Tree Creepers may now be at an end when, this morning, I found a pair of them. They were getting so close, that sometimes my camera wouldn't even focus. The photo on the right is probably the best. It's certainly sharp, if not the classic Tree Creeper pose.

Poor Lighting Weekend

Lots of new bird sightings, but the light was no poor there were no proper photo opportunities. A Willow Warbler and a Red-Legged Partridge are on the new Birds 5 Photo Page. Also, when the sun came out briefly this afternoon, I took some shots of a Green Woodpecker. I've stuck it in this page as it's marginally better then previous Green Woodpecker photos.

In other news, I have a nice big new monitor.

Sunrise

Got up before sunrise to go to the lakes. Nice sunrise, no Kingfishers.

Yellowhammers

My previous excitement at seeing a Yellowhammer was put into perspective this afternoon when, in the field behind our house, I saw a flock of 30 - 40 of them in and around a freshly ploughed field. Actually quite difficult to photograph because of poor light, aperture size and field of view problems, but I managed to capture a few in a single shot.

There are Nuthatches just down the road.

Pewsey

Went to Pewsey to visit Andrew, Lizzie and Oscar for the weekend. Saw lots of interesting birds in the woods near their house. I managed to get photos of a Nuthatches, Marsh Tits, Wrens, Green Woodpeckers, Greater Spotted Woodpeckers and Grey Wagtails.

I'm so pleased with some of them, that on the Birds 4 Photos Page I've broken with my tradition and put multiple photos of the same bird type. I've placed a couple of Nuthatch photos on this page too, bumping the Lisbon photos down already.
