Very lucky to have had this young lady staying in my garden for 5 days a few weeks ago.
She’s a Black Redstart and she migrates to the UK to breed at this time of year. There are less than 100 breeding pairs in the UK, so they’re fairly rare 😊
Huge difference in appearance depending on whether the light is in front of, or behind you when you take the image.

I think I was 7 years old when I first became fascinated with the Water Rail and I won a competition with a felt tip pen drawing of one.
Beautiful, shy, secretive waders who are often heard and not seen. I was very lucky to get these shots at the weekend 😊

A quick trip to Washington over the weekend yielded some nice birds.
I don’t know if anyone else has noticed, but Greenfinches seem to be making a comeback after the devastating Trichomonosis outbreak which hit in late 2006. Seeing them in good numbers for the first time in years 😊

A trip out to the fantastic RSPB Old Hall Marshes in Essex yielded some great birds.
If you’ve never been I’d highly recommend it, but be careful with the weather as it can get pretty chilly down there!
It’s a great place to see Marsh Harriers, Avocets and many types of Warbler. I was happy to see my first ever Whimbrel 😊

I was really lucky to capture this Oriental Honey Buzzard, it landed on a neighbours roof and I managed to get my camera before it flew off.

Just sorting through the last of my Saudi photos….
This is a Nile Valley Sunbird in eclipse plumage, a tiny bird which spends a lot of its time feeding on nectar from flowers.
Taken in my back garden in Jeddah in September last year 😊

Well! Apologies for not sharing anything for some time, but I’ve been working in the Middle East and the lovely virus meant that I got a bit stranded there!
I did have my camera, but have only just returned to the UK which means I can finally download the images.

My first batch from Saudi is the beautiful Rüpell’s Weaver. These striking birds weave hanging nests out of grass and other vegetation.

This is a S**g (steady now!)
Very much under appreciated and often confused with the Cormorant.
This was taken on the wonderful Inner Farne 😊
