Fulmars at Hunstanton

bird, gull, NorfolkBy Neil-UKWildlifeJanuary 8, 20121 Comment

After looking at the whale (a couple of post back) we headed up the cliff at Hunstanton. In the wind the fulmar performed nicely and a got a number of shots: A couple of other species flew past: A feral pigeon And a common gull We headed back along the beach with the sun pretty…

Fieldfares, goldfinch, blue and great tits

bird, Essex, finch, thrush, tit, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeJanuary 7, 20122 Comments

Yesterday morning, as with most days this week, there were plenty of fieldfares around. They were feeding on the hawthorn berries. At lunchtime I set up my camera near the RSPB feeders and got my best great tit shots yet. I also got some nice blue tit shots. I photographed the ‘beaky’ blue tit again.…

Titchwell RSPB reserve: little egrets, goldfinch, spotted redshank and gadwall

bird, finch, heron, Norfolk, Titchwell, waderBy Neil-UKWildlifeJanuary 5, 20121 Comment

Before going to Hunstanton for the sperm whale we spent the morning at RSPB Titchwell. We sawa number of birds, including 3 lifers for me: Arctic Redpoll, red throated diver and my first definate bar tailed godwit (which I’ve almost certainly seen before, but never 100% sure it was one). I got some nice photos…

Pyramidal orchid, sedge warbler and a grooming crows

bird, crow, Essex, Orchid, Plant, warbler, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeDecember 28, 2011Leave a comment

Back In July, on the same day as I took the photos in the last post, I photographed this pyramidal orchid in Wat Tyler Country Park. I got some close ups. And tried a top down shot. On the reed bed walk was this sedge warbler. In the trees opposite this pair of crows were…

Reed warblers and nest

bird, Essex, warbler, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeDecember 27, 2011Leave a comment

Back in July I was in one of the reed bed bird hides looking for the nest I had been told about. There were at least 2, perhaps 3 pairs of adults taking food to their young. After watching the adults and moving up to the upper floor and looking down I spotted the nest.…

Goldfinch and crows on a cloudy day

bird, Essex, finch, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeDecember 21, 2011Leave a comment

Yesterday in the poor weather there was little about in Wat Tyler CP apart from a couple of crows. So I camped out at the bird feeders and got probably my best shots of goldfinches (though that says more about the low quality of the photos I’ve taken before). I had to shoot at ISO800…

Rock pipit

bird, Pembrokeshire, pipitBy Neil-UKWildlifeDecember 15, 2011Leave a comment

Here are some shots from Pembrokeshire back in June. The cliffs around Broad and Little Haven had a number of rock pipit family living around them. I got reasonably close to one. And to another. The one I got closest to pulled an intersting pose as it looked for insects on the cliff.

Carrion crow

bird, crow, Essex, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeDecember 14, 20113 Comments

Last week I came across a couple of crows in the morning sun. One of the resident crows displays some leucism with some with some white feathers mainly on the wings.

Greenshank in Puerto del Carmen

bird, Lanzarote, waderBy Neil-UKWildlifeDecember 4, 20111 Comment

As some of you have probably gathered from my recent posts, the beach at Puerto del Carmen was pretty good for co-operative waders.  On one morning I found a greenshank, who I managed to creep just close enough to for some nice photos. I got some ‘in the habitat’ shots, which show the volcanic rocks.…

Gigrin Kites in dismal weather

bird, BOPBy Neil-UKWildlifeNovember 30, 20114 Comments

AFter my trip to Gilfach, I and some friends meet up at Gigrin farm. The weather did not look great and in fact only got more cloudy and darker as the red kite feeding time drew nearer and just sadly continued to get worse as they were fed. However having a camera with good High…
