Morning Blackbird

 

 

 

Took a trip down to good old Pagham harbour this morning, and tried out the new lens I got for my 21st birthday. Saw some amazing things as this time of year the Brent Geese are here for winter from Siberia. However, as it turns out the photo I was most happy with was this photo of a foraging blackbird (geese photos will appear soon).

Captive Barn Owl

This photo was taken whilst on a walk around Pagham harbor nature reserve in West Sussex. We were lucky enough to bump into a man who was using the wide open spaces to fly his much loved and majestic looking Barn Owl, Charlie as he does apparently every day.

City Wren

Every time i do the washing up i stare out of the window day dreaming, trying to not think about washing up as i am sure a lot of people do (who don't own dishwashers). Recently i have notice a very active and bold wren. He happily site calling out in the open and on the top of telegraph poles singing very loudly. Over the weekend i decided to take advantage of this and managed to get this shot in the middle of Southampton outside my flat :).

Wild Bird Wednesday - Long tailed tit portrait

The long tailed tit is my favorite garden bird, and thanks to he added reach on my new lens i was able to get close enough to take this shot in my back garden a couple of days ago :)
