Sometimes the light and mist makes all the difference…

An early morning scene with mist rising from the calm sunlit water and the fog blurring the background and silhouetted reeds in the foreground and a couple of birds swimming in the mid ground.

I think this one’s a chiff chaff but similar eye stripe…

Reading and obeying the rules…

A pair of roe deer in the early morning light. One looks like it’s reading a ‘keep out’ sign in front of a fenced area and the other is running alongside the fence line.There is some early morning sunlight hitting the deer and grass along the fence line and there are some trees in the blurred slightly darker background.

Don‘t think I’ve posted here using the #ThursJay tag before but here’s a couple…

I’ll go with this ‘giant bird’ 😉 for today's #BirdOfTheDay #HeadShots theme of any Birds 'Close Up Capture'. Alomost a bit disconcerting to see a #kingfisher this close up I think?
Might post separately for the Alternative theme of #Swans.

I don’t often take photos where the clouds are the main subject but in this instance it was the clouds, layers and colours that caught my eye at the local #rspb nature reserve…

#landscape #Landscapephotography #photography #nature #PhotographersOfBlueSky
An early morning blue hour scene from the local nature reserve captured at 600mm where the foreground of the reserve and trees are somewhat silhouetted against layers of blue and pink clouds and lighter blue sky above all compressed by the long focal length.

A bit of a mix for today’s #BirdOfTheDay #staredown theme
A long tailed tit from a local nature reserve.
A Harris hawk from Tuscany - a trained bird not wild.
And from last week a buzzard at very very long distance but I’d swear it was staring right at me!

I tried asking AI for a humorous caption for this image and most were like Xmas cracker jokes! 😉 But I don‘t Mind this one:

It seems one of the birds I have definitely photographed least is the little #goldcrest and by coincidence I did get a couple of images just last week and although not great I’m not sure I even have any others!

One of my all time favourite #lunchtime images for #BirdOfTheDay
#birds #photography #EastCoastKin #birdphotography #ukbirding #ukbirds #grebe #pike
A grebe swallowing a pike. It looks like the pike is too big but in fact I watched and photographed the grebe catch and swallow the pike from beginning to end - quite some lunch!
