This morning my daughter asked me what I’d like for Xmas.

This afternoon I got an answer for her - more moments in nature like this please 🥰 (and a decent flask to keep my coffee hot!)

Side-lit Robin at a local nature reserve I met on Monday morning

I liked this particular shot for the subtle highlights falling on the bird and the good eye contact. Thank you Robin!

Female Blackbird gorging herself on sloe berries from the blackthorn bushes at a local nature reserve earlier this week.

She struggled to swallow each berry which must have been on the limit she was able to fit down her throat!

A pair of Canada Geese at a local nature reserve yesterday morning.

My first photo with the new-to-me Canon 1dx I’ve recently purchased.

So this happened to me today. And my heart swelled. The briefest, lightest touch of tiny feet on my palm as a wild animal chose to trust me with its life. Magical 🥹

"Finders keepers!"
Turnstone with a shellfish for breakfast at a local beach at Minehead. Nikon Z50ii + Nikon 200-400mm f4 VRii. One of the first sessions with my new Z50ii and I loved finally having effective bird detect AF and tracking!

Partly-leucistic male Blackbird in a hedgerow close to home this afternoon. Back to work tomorrow so desperate to get out for an hour with the camera today. Lightroom's NR cleaned up this ISO 8,000 shot on the Z50ii quite well. Handsome bird. #ukwildlife #birds #birdphotography

Lyra (aged 1yr) on the beach for her Christmas Day walkies noses her ball back to me to throw it for her 🥰 #puppy #dog #inuitcollie

Carrion Crow at the beach earlier this week. Intelligent and resourceful these corvids are interesting to watch as they search out food on the tideline. I liked the slight blue iridescence in the plumage in this shot.

Common Redshank - deep crop and original RAW shot. Making crops this big I should be a farmer! Do you happily crop even if you don't have a high mp sensor (mine's 21mp)? What camera & lens combo is your go-to birding set up?

High speed Common Redshank. The bird detect autofocus and tracking on my Nikon Z50ii worked really well as I panned to keep this bird in my EVF. #birds #ukwildlife #birdphotography

Redshank in its environment. Liftoff from a tidal pool at WWT Steart Marshes on Monday. Nikon Z50ii + Nikon 300mm f4 AF-S. #birds #birdphotography #ukwildlife #ukbirding

Common Redshank at full throttle yesterday. This guy was going FAST! One of the first action shots I've made with my new Nikon Z50ii. I'm impressed with the bird detect autofocus. I reckon this little camera will be a very useful tool for my #birdphotography. #birds #ukwildlife

Small in the frame male Stonechat on a cliff edge elder bush high above the beautiful blue Cornish sea. A shot from a dawn walk from Polperro to Looe, Cornwall, July 2024.

One from today. A juvenile gull at my local beach when the winter sun appeared for maybe one minute. I'm terrible at gull ID & when it comes to sub-adults I'm struggling! One of the first shots with my new Nikon Z50ii. Initial impressions are very favourable. #birds #ukwildlife #birdphotography

"Silent Night - part two"
Another shot of the Barn Owl I was thrilled to capture one evening earlier this week. Taken after sunset in failing light so ISO 9000 but I'm very happy to add another photo to my collection.

"Silent Night" A Barn Owl hunting river a local field after sunset one evening last week. Hardly ever see them. Very happy to get a couple of shots. Like the symmetry of the owl's outstretched wings and the distant treeline behind

First time I’ve ever bought a brand new camera. Looking forward to trying this little guy out on my next day off work. Hoping the bird detect AF will prove as useful as the review videos of it in action suggest. #birdphotography

Female Stonechat on gorse photographed on a dawn walk along the cost path from Polperro to Looe back in July.

I like the background which is a wave-washed rocky headland jutting out into the sea being lit from the left by the rising sun.

"Solitude"
A lone Grey Seal surfaces to take in its surroundings before slipping back under the surface of the wide, blue Cornish coastal waters. A small in frame photo taken looking down from the Polperrro to Looe coast path July 2024

A local pair of Buzzards flying in tandem over my garden. A shot from March 2021 I took using a Nikon D500 + Nikon 300mm f4 PF lens. I was building a shed and heard the familiar high-pitched call giving me time to grab my camera and take some photos.

Bedraggled Blackbird

An old shot taken in my back garden but it seemed very appropriate for today as we hunker down and shelter from Storm Bert

Red Kite soaring on updraughts rising from the hillside below. An image from Nov 2023 when I was thrilled to find four of these beautiful raptors brightening up a blustery, cold, grey day.
