Day 17 - Barn Owl


One of my fairly early bird shots but definitely one of my favourites and one of my best I think.

Day 64 - Dunnock a.k.a small brown birdie

I've been seeing this little brown bird at the end of my garden for a couple of weeks now and just assumed it was a wren. Finally caught it on camera and am reliably informed by hubby that it is a dunnock - also called a hedge sparrow. Not a great picture - long lens through glass but the only one anywhere near to being in focus - I'm obviously too shaky for a long lens at 7.30am!

Day 51 - Swan


Mum joined me at the sea wall today - after hearing about the seal and all the other wildlife I've been seeing all month - and guess what - not a bit of wildlife anywhere except this swan who came scooting over rapidly to check us out. He then settled down for a good ol' preen right in front of us whilst we chatted. We think he must have been a bit lonesome!

Day 50 - Kingfisher


I finally managed to catch a glimpse of this little fella with my camera - motion blur and all :) Still - you can see his lovely colours and it's enough for me - knowing that I finally managed it! Next task - find his regular perch and try to catch him there!
