For a camera? What are you thinking about? 🙂

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

Gosh well, yeah phone photography generally doesn’t elicit results like this, not unless you’re very very close to the bird and get all that good detail.

A cheap dedicated camera can take shots like this 🙂

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

I wondered that. I guessed it was a Shrimp…?

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

I think this is a favourite shot of mine. I love the atmosphere and it’s something a little different 🙂

I’ve been birding for nearly a year, but I’ve only just managed to get a shot of a Great Tit!

Capturing Sand Martins isn’t easy, but after around 456,000 shots, I got one 😆

A White Wagtail checks out what it just stood in…

Taken with the Sony A7RV & Tamron 150-500mm, from a long way off!
