Great Spotted Woodpecker

We've got a pair of woodpeckers breeding in the nearby woods and we hear the male drumming at the top of a tree from our garden. Such a fantastic sound of spring. I photographed this image this morning when he dropped in for a snack.

Eurasian Siskin

Great that spring has arrived and the birds are in full voice. This image is the result of several early morning starts as I kept trying to capture a brightly coloured male siskin in a nice pose and composition. Finally after lots of failures all the elements came together and the light was perfect!

Barn Swallows

Swallows are very chattery birds especially in spring when the male and female are courting. I noticed these birds repeatedly perched on wires over the cottage we were in and it looked like they were shouting at each other! To get some elevation and an eye-level viewpoint, I set up a tripod on top of a water storage tank and photographed them each time they alighted. I would usually prefer a natural perch but swallows almost invariably perch on wires so it shows them as we typically see them around houses and farms.

Back-lit European Goldfinch on a gorse bush. Backlighting birds is challenging to shoot successfully but I like how it gives a glowing appearance that adds depth.

Great Crested Grebe

It's been too long since I posted (preoccupied with other things) but enjoyed photographing this beautiful bird early one morning as the mist cleared and a glint of soft sunshine illuminated the scene.

Juvenile Great Spotted Woodpecker

A young woodpecker from this year's local brood. Note the red crown on a juvenile, makes it easy to ID a young one from a distance.

Eurasian Oystercatcher pulling a fat worm from the sand.
They prefer to work the shoreline looking for food so if you find a quiet spot and you're willing to lie flat on the sand and wait there's a good chance one will come close by.

Male on the same perch as my last post but shot a few weeks later as springtime changes the look of the scene.
