Bumble Bees on Flowers

A quick post of a couple of shots I did in the garden recently.

Juvenile Buzzards

The Buzzards in my garden have bred and the two noisy youngsters have now discovered the food I put out for the adults. I popped into the hide this afternoon to photograph one of them.

Buzzard Close-ups

A quick session in the garden yesterday with the Buzzards. When I do one of these sessions I have to decide which lens to use - whether I want the whole bird in the frame or just part of it, I opted for the latter this time for some moody, full frame close-ups with a nice dark, shaded background.

Purple Sandpipers

More waders from the Uists. The Purple Sandpiper is another species that over-winters, with its purple plumage, here on The Wirral. These shots show it's contrasting spring colours. I have added an image of a winter bird for comparison.

I have added 42 new Purple Sandpiper images to my main site - Steven Round Bird Photography.com
