Treecreepers

I have had some good luck with these birds over the last couple of weeks.

Crossbills

Another trip to the forest and I struck lucky this time, a pair of Crossbills landing right in front of me.

Blue Tits in Flight

I was visiting a nature reserve earlier this week and having been walking around all morning, I decided to have my lunch by the bird feeding station. The birds were using the same flight path to the feeders each time, so I thought I could maybe try for some flight shots. I put on a 300mm lens, set the camera to manual focus and aimed just below the feeders. With my sandwich in one hand and camera in the other, every time a bird approached I took a couple of shots. A few of them have actually turned out ok.

Long-tailed Duck

Another day out in North Wales and I stopped off at the river Clwyd in Rhuddlan for a female Long-tailed Duck which has been in residence there for at least a week now. It's been a few years since I photographed one of these Arctic breeding birds which usually winter at sea.
