Hi, I’m a keen amateur photographer that’s here to share my pics & gain inspiration from others. You’ll see I’m somewhat addicted to photographing birds in flight. Thanks for looking 😊

A few of my favourites from this year. We are lucky to have such stunning birds either visiting or residents of Suffolk. There have been many more, and they are really wonderful to see. I share these images to show and tell a short story about the birds, suported with my photos.

Crested Tits from last years crested tit workshop with @PeteWalkden1973
Going back this year to see these wonderful birds for the third time. Beautiful ancient woodlands with these magical birds is something not to be missed. Got to be one of my favourite birds to see every year.

Excellent start to the Autumn Bittern season here @RSPBMinsmere
Today over an six hour session, we had seventeen bittern flights, with two of the bitterns being very big, likely to be males. The weather was not great, but just for a moment the misty clouds filtered some sunlight.

Duck! I know it's a Swan but this bird was closer than it looks, the pic was taken with a wide-angle lens as the bird flew over my head 👀

Alan’s #BirdOfTheDay is any bird #paddling, standing or walking on shallow water. Nearly all of my favourite pics are of flying birds so I’ll share one for the alternate post of #yellow
These beautiful Yellow Wagtails love nothing more than a nice fresh dung heap 💩

I’ve heard a few Brambling locally, we had a pair visit our garden in 2023 & I’m really hoping we’ll see them again this year🤞 #Birds #BirdsInFlight @rspb.bsky.social

My one and only sighting of a Eurasian Bittern, a bird that's normally hidden in the reeds, I was very fortunate in seeing it fly past the hide at RSPB Lakenheath Fen
