A Black-headed Gull is having a wonderful conversation by himself (or maybe herself; difficult to discern!)

Swallows are pretty rapid! It’s a challenge to capture them well…ahem!

One of my better shots of a Kingfisher with an actual fish! Better or not, it’s my first anyway… 🙂

I’ve never seen a Song Thrush before, so even though this is a pretty standard pic, I’m still pleased to have taken it 😇

I was lucky enough to find this lovely Kestrel on the Little Orme of Llandudno.

Not an amazing shot, but it’s a first!
