Took a quick flying visit to #LadywalkNR this morning and was lucky enough to photograph this Redpoll just outside 'A Hide'. 🪶

A gorgeous little Razorbill 🪶 The bird was partially blocked by some grass & I was was relatively close with a long prime. This meant I couldn't play with compositions in the same way I would with a zoom resulting in this portrait which in all fairness, I'm quite fond of. #birdphotography #ukbirds

One of the UKs most beautiful birds; the Puffin.

Every Summer thousands return to our coastlines to breed before venturing back out to sea for the winter. I recently photographed this bird at RSPB Bempton Cliffs 🦅

I once sat at WWT Slimbridge overlooking the River Severn hoping for a sleeping Spoonbill to wake up when suddenly this Sparrowhawk shot across the reeds like a rocket. I missed it the first time round but hoped it would return for a second pass. I was so glad that it did. #birdofprey 🪶 #nature

Just a pair of beautiful Gannets 🪶

Took a trip to RSPB Coombes Valley & Consall Woods a few days ago to catch up with the beautiful Pied Flycatchers currently calling the woodland their home. 🪶

Recently met up with @carlhowe.bsky.social to go photograph some beautiful Short Eared Owls!

It's very fair to say my mind was well and truly blown by the experience. 😂

Who doesn't love a Barn Owl?

Possible help with ID please?
I was at Blithfield yesterday and chanced upon this bird.

I believe it's a harrier of sorts but I'm not too sure which exactly.

All images are still frames from a video (thus the quality) & I can post the vid too if that would be of use.

Cheers!

Bit of a classic kingfisher shot taken yesterday at #uptonwarren.

Always happy when one of these little fellows decides to treat me with a closeup view before carrying on with its day.

Unexpectedly got the day off work today so made my way to Upton Warren for a few hours.

Pretty quiet for the most part but did see a pair of great white egret, kingfisher, curlew, shelduck and this awesome looking rook 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛

What's usually a fairly shy species, often seen darting from one reed bed to another; the water rail.

Recently came across this awesome little Wheatear shielding itself from the wind alongside the River Severn.

Bagged my third West Midlands Bird Club newsletter cover today 🐦✌️

Made my way down to the River Severn recently, not too much to note but did get a lovely close up view of a buzzard who kindly decided to rest on a nearby perch. Despite being such a common bird I don't often get the opportunity to see them up close. #ukbirding #nikon

The Hobby is one amazing bird, several weeks back I spent two days watching a pair hunt over the lake at #LadywalkNatureReserve. The way they catch and consume their prey mid-air is simply incredible!
