I’m sure a few photographers can relate to this.

Going through the footage that is watching over our nesting Wren’s nest, the camera captured a very inquisitive Long Eared Bat.
Looking closely, you can see the female Wren is in the nest incubating and protecting her eggs.

Nature is a wonderful thing.

Great Spotted Woodpecker (Male)
(Dendrocopos major)

When the lighting, conditions, subject and composition all align for that split second and you achieve what could be a wall hanger.

So, over the past 7 days, I have spent umpteen hours with the woodpecker family that nests in our garden. Mum, dad and 3 fledglings.
I strive to try and capture different images from that we all see day in day out, and with taking in excess of over 6000 image of the woodpeckers over the past week, I’m feeling rather accomplished with this image.
Hope you like it too.

Jackdaw (juvenile)
(Coloeus monedula)

This juvenile Jackdaw came down in our garden within 10ft from me and I couldn’t resist just a headshot of him.
The detail of the feathers and the eye are just incredible don’t you think?!
Both parents were very close by, so not to scare the juvenile or bother the parents, I slow retreated back away to leave them be.

Eurasian Wren

Just been viewing our Wren Cam footage, and I’m pleased to confirm we have a minimum of 3 chicks that mum is regularly feeding.

Happy days.
