Birds, wildlife, nature, dogs. Target is a crisp, detailed shot of a common swift. All photos mine unless quote/repost or stated.
#FavouriteOfTheMonth in terms of the bird, but definitely not the photo. This guy just wouldn’t move to a clearer part of the tree. It was almost as if he didn’t want the publicity!

Thanks…always good to know! I’ve heard, but not seen, them in Macclesfield Forest.

Whereabouts are you looking?
January 28, 2026 at 1:00 PM
Ah right, thank you!

Ah…a boat-tailed? Such a beautiful sheen showing in that photo!

Is that the one in Speke?

When you take the campervan to France with no big idea of where to go and then someone mentions there are vultures in the Gorge du Tarn…..🚐💨💨

Well caught!

It may not have the bright colours, bordering on gaudy, of the male, but the pattern and feather structure of a female pheasant are just as captivating
